    I am trying to map a drive in windows 7 using the net use command and save the credentials to the credentials manager.   The issue I am having is getting the correct syntax for the user.  I am not on a domain server yet, but I have mapped drives for my users.  I can't figure out what the syntax is for a local account.

    I apreciate any help.

    Here is what I got:

    net use M:10.200.143.3\elt\shared  PASSWORD /user: ?????? USER1 /savecred  /p:yes

    I am trying to mount the drive and have it save in the credential manager and be accessible after every boot.

    A easy solution is to use a simple script:

    See my example and replace the "declaration..." values.

    ption Explicit
' On Error Resume Next  													!!!!!!!! Uncomment for Debugging only - not in POD !!!!!!!!!!!!
'
' Variables Declaration
' --------------------
	Dim objNetwork, objFS, objShell
	Dim strProdServer
	Dim Letter1,Letter2
	Dim Folder1,Folder2
	Dim strRemotePathProd
	Dim strUserProd,strPassword,strProfile					
	Dim blnDebug 
		
' Constantes Declaration
' ----------------------
	strProdServer = "nameserver"		'File server name
	
' Shares Declaration
' ------------------
	Letter1 = "s:"
	Folder1 = "\SharedFolderName1"
	Letter2 = "T:"
	Folder2 = "\SharedFolderName2"
	strRemotePathProd = "\\" & strProdServer & Folder1


' ####  Echo for Check only ####
 ' WScript.Echo "PathProd = " & ":" & strRemotePathProd 					!!!!!!!! Uncomment for Debugging only - not in POD !!!!!!!!!!!!
'
' Credentials Declaration
' -----------------------
	strUserProd = "Useraccount"
	strPassword = "userPassword"
	strProfile = "false"
'
' ####  Echo for Check only ####
' 	WScript.Echo "Prod Credential= " & strUserProd & " : " & strPassword 	!!!!!!!! Uncomment for Debugging only - not in POD !!!!!!!!!!!!
					
' Objects Declaration	
' -------------------
	Set objNetwork = wScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
	Set objFs = wScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	Set objShell = wScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'	
' Variables Assignation
' ---------------------
	blnDebug = False						' Active wscript echo if True

'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'//  MAIN SCRIPT
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Call DeleteConnections
	Call CreateConnections

'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'//  END OF SCRIPT
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	Set objFS = Nothing
	set objNetwork = Nothing
	Set objShell = Nothing
'		Troubleshooting			
		If (blndebug = True) Then
		WScript.echo "End"
		End If
	WScript.Quit
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'//  SUB ROUTINES

'-------------------------------------------------------
' Remove All Specific Existing NetWork Drives
'-------------------------------------------------------
Sub DeleteConnections
	On Error Resume Next
	objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive Letter1
	objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive Letter2
	On Error Goto 0
	wScript.Sleep 250
End sub

'-------------------------------------------------------
' Create NetWork Drives

Sub CreateConnections
	objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive Letter1,strRemotePathProd,strProfile,strUserProd,strPassword	'Drive Mapping with Password Authentication (Sample)
	wScript.Sleep 250
	objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive Letter2,strRemotePathProd,strProfile							'Drive Mapping without any Credential (Sample)
	wScript.Sleep 250
End sub
