    I used psexec tool to remotely connect to remote PC cmd.exe. I could tell it connected because at the top of command line windows it says \\pcname: cmd.exe and I see folders on remote pc with Dir command.

    net use O: \\servername\sharename /user:domain\username password

    result: the command completed successfully

    However, I don't see network map drive letter O: anywhere.

    I logon remote pc and see no mapped network drives at all.

    Did I miss something? thanks.

    The mapped drive will be only visible under the console session generated by psexec. You can see it by using this command from within the psexec command prompt:

    net  use

    I was thinking that I could map network drive for remote user without the need of remote control! Is there a way I can do that?

    Thanks for respond, Oberwald.

    The only way to do this is under the foreground session of the remote user. You can, of course, copy a shortcut to his desktop that uses this command line:

    net use O: \\servername\sharename /user:domain\username password

    Now ask the user to double-click this shortcut. Remember that the user will be able to see the password . . .
