BAT file to map to network drive without running as admin

I just figured it out! What I did was I created the batch file like I had it originally:

net use P: "\\server\foldername\foldername"

I then saved it to the desktop and right clicked the properties and checked run as administrator. I then copied the file to C:\Users\"TheUser"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Where "TheUser" was the desired user I wanted to add it to.


Save below in a test.bat and It'll work for you:

@echo off

net use Z: \\server\SharedFolderName password /user:domain\Username /persistent:yes

/persistent:yes flag will tell the computer to automatically reconnect this share on logon. Otherwise, you need to run the script again during each boot to map the drive.

For Example:

net use Z: \\WindowsServer123\g$ P@ssw0rd /user:Mynetdomain\Sysadmin /persistent:yes
