Question : "net use" shows a drive share as "unavailable" when run from the scheduler

Hi,

I'm trying to get a program to run from the Windows XP scheduler when I'm not logged on. I've created a bat file that has everything in it. I'm running the job using my credentials. The bat file is being executed.

I have a command in the bat file that maps a network share I need:
  net use \\server\share k

I follow this command with:
  net use

and I see:
  Status            Local   Remote       Network
  Unavailable    K:        \\server\share    Microsoft Windows Network

If I run the bat file while logged in, the Status is "Ok".

I have two questions:

1) Why is this share "Unavailable" when I map it without being logged in?
2) How do I fix this.

Thanks for the help.

Since you are not logged in, it is likely that you just need to provide credentials for access to the share.
