| Feb 14, 2017 at 15:57 | comment | added | iPath ツ | Do you know the technical reason of why mapped drive is visible to all users? Or it's just a bug? | |
| Nov 30, 2016 at 10:58 | comment | added | AudioDroid | For reasons I'm not sure of this has NOT worked for me. It has instead screwed up my boot up and shutdown process to the point I could not log in any more. It took me quiet some effort to undo what is suggested here, because the suggested tool doesn't work in safe mode. Luckily I could apply the revert changes without using the tool (psexec). | |

| Nov 17, 2016 at 23:18 | comment | added | mberna | This works, I would reccomend using /savecred also so that it will save credentials. This worked great for me mapping NAS drives to an apache server. | |

I want to add that it is important that everyone uses the clause /USER:[remotecomp]\[remoteusername] [password] (command does not work properly sometimes when remote user name is not preceeded with remote computer name and a backslash. Also, if the share is password protected, and appears for others as disconnected drive, it is NOT accessible for everyone. Any user on that system, where SYSTEM mounts a share must know the password to that share. (tested on XPx64)

On Windows 7, /persistent:yes has apparently no effect and the drive isn't available after reboot. I ended up including net use z: /delete and net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /user:username password directly in the batch script.

You should update your answer to address this in newer windows hosts (server 2008+). You need to add /user:username or it refuses to mount the drive as the system account

| Apr 3, 2013 at 3:00 | comment | added | Shrage Smilowitz | @TRS-80 Startup scripts run before user login's, to create a mapped drive you have to be logged in. I tried your solution but the mapped drive is unavailable after a reboot. Am i missing something? | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 10:13 | comment | added | chuacw | Why does ForcePush's solution not work for IIS? On IIS, I mapped /VirtualDirectory to Z: which maps to another machine. But when I tried to browse website/VirtualDirectory, I can't get to the map. If I use command line or explorer, I can see Z: and copy files there. | |

To get it working after a reboot, create a script just containing net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder and set it to run on computer startup, per technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770556.aspx This will run as the SYSTEM account, so no need for psexec.

I added -i to the psexec command, as that was how I got it to work for me

| Oct 20, 2011 at 11:19 | comment | added | Dave Patterson | I also see the mapping as unavailable after a reboot. | |
| Oct 17, 2011 at 9:48 | comment | added | Tommy | After a reboot the mapped drive is gone. Any ideas?The mapping is persisted, but the status is "Unavailable" so it doesn't show up | |
| Oct 4, 2011 at 13:43 | comment | added | Nik | I have the same problem as Constantin - any ideas how to share for both system and users? | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 13:42 | comment | added | Tommy | Works like a charm! Thanks! Been struggling with this for a while | |
