NET USE to map network drive

cmarkley · Post by **cmarkley** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:56 pm

I have a task built that copies a file, renames it and then uploads it via FTP. Everything is working great but I need first connect to this Windows server using the NET USE command. This server is in a workgroup and not on our domain. I am running RT as a service. I've looked through all the sample tasks and other posts in the forum but haven't found anything that is relevant to my situation. I could put these commands in a batch file but I don't know how to call an external batch file from RT and honestly, would prefer to keep everything w/in RT and not have to call anything exernally.Any help would be great! All servers involved are Windows 2003THX!

Any network resources is inaccessible by default in system service mode.
You should specify authentication parameters of some user in service mode. Read more here please.

Also I recommend to use UNC names. In this case you don't need to map network drive at all. See more information here, please.
