Batch file question

Looks like I was able to answer my own question. I made a guess and added a modifier of /y to the end of the command string. Then when ever a prompt occurs from that command, it automatically answers yes to the prompt.

Batch file question

I am using the "net use" command. As I know it, the persistent modifier is used to determine whether the connection made by the net use command will exist upon the next login. It doesn't control prompts during the running of the batch file.

Batch file question

I have written a batch file that deletes all mapped drives and then maps them. I wrote and placed this in the startup group to get around a disconnected network drive issue I was having. This is deployed on quite a few systems, and thus I don't want the end use to have to interact with it at...

Disconnected Network Drive and Windows XP

Imay have figured out why the network drives aren't reconnected upon reboot. It seems that sometimes, when the computers boot into windows, it takes a few seconds for it to connect to the network. I think it is in those few seconds that windows attempts to connect the mapped drive, and finding...

Disconnected Network Drive and Windows XP

The problem here is that dos/the batch file/a command prompt doesn't see the drive since it is disconnected. While windows can access it, dos can't access it until it has been connected. I just get a "The system cannot find the drive specified" error. I think I may have to go with a...

Disconnected Network Drive and Windows XP

This option doesn't seem to work. The command window can't access a disconnected network drive. A shortcut in windows can, but not dos. I think this is a server level problem, most likely caused because we added new systems. It isn't the timeout error referenced in the microsoft support...

Disconnected Network Drive and Windows XP

These drives do become active once they are accessed in windows. (i.e. if I click on it in explorer) Can anyone think of a way to automate the accessing of the drive in windows (accessing through a command prompt doesn't work)? One way I did was to create a shortcut to a bat file on one of the...

Disconnected Network Drive and Windows XP

Unfortently I can't use the net use command. The network drives all point to a share that has the & charactor in its name.(I didn't do it, before my time here :-) Dos doesn't seem to be able to recognize that charactor.

Disconnected Network Drive and Windows XP

There is a checkbox when you map a drive to reconnect at login. That box was checked. It is some other issue unfortently. I've also now noticed that occasionally when I look at the system, all the drives will be connected, but on next boot up, they are all disconnected again.

Hi All, I have a windows based workgroup network running about 30 computers. I just added four new windows xp pro systems to the network. Each machine has 19 networked drives to a windows 2000 data server. On the new systems, all the drives show up as "disconnected network Drive" upon...

Hard drive problem IBM 60gxp

>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. Drive does not have enough time to spinup before detection by the BIOS. 3. Drive does not have enough power to spinup upon powering the system on. >>>>>>>>>>>> If its 2 or 3, how do I fix that? I can see 2 maybe fixed by putting it first on its own IDE chain?
