    NET USE in a batch file- sometimes works


    Windows 10 Pro
    I have a batch file where I map my net devices, mostly Samba shares from my Linux servers.
    (I know you don't like to see snippets, but the bat file is over 300 lines long.)
    Basically, I have a function for each drive to be mounted:
    Code:
    At least one of the drives, seemingly at random, will give me a "name not found" error or a "System Error 5" (AKA. BSOD for NET), but when I open a CMD window and manually enter the net use line, it works. Sometimes simply repeating the bat file corrects the problem.

    Can anyone suggest why running the net use from a bat file could fail when the same net use in a cmd window connects just fine?

    <And how do I properly post code?>

    :)

    Batch file to ping network

    No, batch files are extremely easy.

    A "If" requires three extra steps.

    Code is not how much you can put in, but how lite can you make it and still perform the functions.

    So

    @ echo off


    ping 1.4.1.4 >a.txt

    findstr /m "Request timed out" a.txt
    if %errorlevel%%==0 (
    echo Save our nets!!!
    )

    pause

    NET USE in a batch file- sometimes works

    Batch Files Knowledge Base

    Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
    Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

    dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

    When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
