Mapping a network drive and having trouble saving password

I'm running a batch:

"net use j: \\192.168.1.241\sausb /user:srvfeskar\administrator Ratata12 /persistent:yes /p:yes"

After restarting the windows 8 computer. I need to insert the password again.

/persistent and /savecred are mutually exclusive, and savecred cannot be used with a drive letter, you have to type two commands as follows:

net use j: \\192.168.1.241\sausb /user:srvfeskar\administrator Ratata12 /persistent:yes 
net use \\192.168.1.241\sausb /SAVECRED

If i understand it, you are not running the same command each time after restart. You want to run the command once and then in sucessive logins have the drive mapped without having to validate.

There are two options

  • In net use j: command include the /persistent:yes and /savecred switches, but do not include user or password data. It will be asked and then saved for later use.

  • Use the cmdkey command to store the required credentials in the machine.

    cmdkey /add:191.168.1.241 /user:srvfeskar\administrator /pass:Ratata12

    Then when net use j: \\192.168.1.241\sausb /persistent:yes is used, the credentials stored will be used for the mapping.
