Net use syntax windows 98

And the System account on your Win9x machine does not have rigths to the shared folder. Thanks for the response but it isn't a permissions issue. First, I have appropriate permissions. Second, the command string I use works perfectly at the dos prompt, but dies in a batch file.

NOTE that the system logon uses the 'x' drive designater so it is recommended that you don't map drives to this drive letter. I assume that you run the batch file also from the command prompt and don't see any errors listed.

Try a batch file such as this one and run from the command line.. Check at each pause forany error msgs. You may even have to remove the home directory path from the profile to get the script working properly. Obviously I wasn't using 'X', it was a the generic letter I used when describing this issue. I think I've narrowed it down to my if then statement that proceeds the net use command. I have tried simply logging on locally to the Win98 machine with a user name and password that exists on the NT domain, thinking that it would pass the credentials through.

However, it did not appear to work, and just tells me that the password is incorrect. A cool points to anyone who can tell me how to map drives to these shares. Another points to anyone who can tell me how to run domain admin apps server mgr, user mgr from a Windows 98 system that does not belong to the domain.

If the passwords do not match, an access denied message is returned. The behavior allows for backward compatibility with Windows for Workgroups and other clients. These clients do not pass the domain name to the Server.

If the client's domain name is on the target domain's trust list, the domain controller communicates with the other domain to see if the client's user account and password are valid. If so, access is allowed to the share.

If not, an access denied message is returned.
