  Specifically the /savecred switch saves credentials for reuse.

  Completely unrelated to the poster's question BTW.

  The cmdkey.exe is a Credential Manager Command Line Utility.
  
  This file is part of Microsoft® Windows® Operating System. Cmdkey.exe is developed by Microsoft Corporation. It’s a system and hidden file. Cmdkey.exe is usually located in the %SYSTEM% sub-folder and its usual size is 13,824 bytes.

   

  Best regards,

  Ewieldra's answer is the correct solution (cmdkey).  Noel's answer is not.

  This is really close to what I need.

  I need to set up a service to be able to access a file share on a machine in an unrelated domain.

  If I can log in to the account which the service is running under, I can use this utility to create the credentials.  However, if the service is running as some other identity (Service SID or a user without login rights) this is not practical.

  Is there a way to create credentials which will be used by a different user than the one currently executing the command?

  Thanks,

  Kevin Farlee

  Another way to bring up a dialog which allows you to manage the stored credentials is to bring up the 'Stored User Names and Passwords' dialog via the following command:

  
  

  rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

  
  

  This works in XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

  If there are a lot of them you could go to a command prompt and type:

  cmdkey /list

  Or better yet:  cmdkey /list > del_creds.cmd

  Then edit the file so you are only left with, for example:

      cmdkey /delete:info-services.dev-inside.lni.wa.gov
      cmdkey /delete:info-services.inside.lni.wa.gov
      cmdkey /delete:inside.lni.wa.gov
      cmdkey /delete:lnidaptumtfs08.wads.res
      cmdkey /delete:lniduttumvm05
      cmdkey /delete:lnipstum01.wads.res
      cmdkey /delete:lnipstum02.wads.res
      cmdkey /delete:lnixapolysrm1.wads.res
      cmdkey /delete:ohr.apps-inside.lni.wa.gov
      cmdkey /delete:portal.apps-inside.lni.wa.gov
      cmdkey /delete:portal.dev-inside.lni.wa.gov
      cmdkey /delete:scsd8.unit-test.wads.wa.gov

  then run your del_creds.cmd file and they will all be gone.

  I have a question on this.

  What if I don't the exact name of the Element I want to delete? Can I use wild card character for searching element? like cmdkey /delete:scsd8.unit-test*, so anything which start with scsd8.unit-test should be deleted.

  Hi Vividhp

  I guess if you type cmdkey.exe in your CMD command prompt window it will show you a switch /list.

  This should show you all saved credentials. Should not be so hard to figure out which one is what.

  Example result of above command with /list switch:

  Currently stored credentials:

      Target: LegacyGeneric:target=Microsoft_OC1:uri=joe.blogs@contoso.com:certifica
  te:OCS:1
      Type: Generic Certificate
      User: <Certificate>

  This is typically MS Lync/Office Communicator credential stored where Microsoft_OC1 means MS Office Communicator.

  Hope this helps

  Martin

  It doesn't matter if this is old or in the "wring" forum. Information is information, and this will help someone in the future. It took a while for me to figure out, but it is the solution to antonior0409's problem:

  Modify the entry UseRasCredentials=0 in the file rasphone.pbk in the following folder
  C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\_hiddenpbk\ rasphone.pbk
  
  Another location is C:\Program Data\Microsoft\network\connections\
  
  These are hidden folders and the easiest way to get to them it to type %appdata% or %programdata% in the search function and navigate the rest of the way
  

  Or you can search for any instance of rasphone.pbk and change that line. If the file is empty, you can leave it that way.

  I used psexec \\remote computer cmdkey.exe /list.

  It returned a result of * NONE * so I'm not sure what my drive mapping issue is.
