BAT file to map to network drive without running as admin

Question

I m trying to create a  bat file that will map to a network drive when it is clicked  it would be even better if it could connect automatically on login if connected to the network  otherwise do not connect   What I have so far is   net use P     server foldername foldername    Is there a way that I can create this so the users will not have to right click and run as an administrator  I would like it if they could just click the  bat file and it will map for them

Save below in a test bat and It ll work for you    echo off  net use Z    server SharedFolderName password  user domain Username  persistent yes    persistent yes flag will tell the computer to automatically reconnect this share on logon   Otherwise  you need to run the script again during each boot to map the drive   For Example   net use Z    WindowsServer123 g  P ssw0rd  user Mynetdomain Sysadmin  persistent yes

I just figured it out  What I did was I created the batch file like I had it originally   net use P     server foldername foldername    I then saved it to the desktop and right clicked the properties and checked run as administrator  I then copied the file to C  Users  TheUser  AppData Roaming Microsoft Windows Start Menu Programs Startup  Where  TheUser  was the desired user I wanted to add it to

This  vbs code creates a  bat file with the current mapped network drives    Then  just put the created file into the machine which you want to re-create the mappings and double-click it  It will try to create all mappings using the same drive letters  errors can occur if any letter is in use   This method also can be used as a backup of the current mappings    Save the code bellow as a  vbs file  e g  Mappings vbs  and double-click it                    My Code            Set wshShell   CreateObject   WScript Shell                  Get ComputerName strComputer   wshShell ExpandEnvironmentStrings    COMPUTERNAME                   Get Domain  sUserDomain   createobject  wscript network   UserDomain  Set Connect   GetObject  winmgmts     amp strComputer  Set WshNetwork   WScript CreateObject  WScript Network   Set oDrives   WshNetwork EnumNetworkDrives Set oPrinters   WshNetwork EnumPrinterConnections               Current Path sCurrentPath   CreateObject  Scripting FileSystemObject   GetParentFolderName WScript ScriptFullName                Blank the report message strMsg                    Set objects  Set objWMIService   GetObject  winmgmts    amp    impersonationLevel impersonate       amp  strComputer  amp    root cimv2   Set objWbem   GetObject  winmgmts    Set objRegistry   GetObject  winmgmts      amp  strComputer  amp    root default StdRegProv                 Get UserName sUser   CreateObject  WScript Network   UserName               Print user and computer  strMsg   strMsg  amp       User     amp  sUser  amp  VbCrLf  strMsg   strMsg  amp   Computer     amp  strComputer  amp  VbCrLf  amp  VbCrLf  strMsg   strMsg  amp        COPIED FROM    amp  strComputer  amp          amp  VbCrLf amp  VbCrLf strMsg   strMsg  amp    echo off   amp  vbCrLf  For i   0 to oDrives Count - 1 Step 2     strMsg   strMsg  amp   net use    amp  oDrives Item i   amp       amp  oDrives Item i 1   amp     user    amp  sUserDomain  amp       amp  sUser  amp     persistent yes   amp  VbCrLf Next strMsg   strMsg  amp    exit   amp  VbCrLf strMsg   strMsg  amp    pause   amp  VbCrLf               write the file to disk  strDirectory   sCurrentPath  Set objFSO   CreateObject  Scripting FileSystemObject   If objFSO FolderExists strDirectory  Then       Procede Else     Set objFolder   objFSO CreateFolder strDirectory  End if               Calculate date serial for filename            intMonth   month now  if intMonth  lt  10 then     strThisMonth    0   amp  intMonth else     strThisMonth   intMOnth end if intDay   Day now  if intDay  lt  10 then     strThisDay    0   amp  intDay else     strThisDay   intDay end if strFilenameDateSerial   year now   amp  strThisMonth  amp  strThisDay     sFileName   strDirectory  amp       amp  strComputer  amp       amp  sUser  amp    MappedDrives   amp       amp  strFilenameDateSerial  amp    bat      Set objFile   objFSO CreateTextFile sFileName True   objFile Write strMsg  amp  vbCrLf               Ask to view file strFinish    End  A  bat was generated     amp  VbCrLf  amp   Copy the generated file      amp  sFileName  amp      into the machine where you want to recreate the mappings and double-click it    amp  VbCrLf  amp  VbCrLf  MsgBox strFinish

I tried to create a mapped network driver via  net use  with admin privilege but failed  it does not show  And if I add it through UI  it disappeared after reboot  now I made that through powershell  So  I think you can run powershell scripts from a  bat file  and the script is  New-PSDrive -Name  P  -PSProvider  FileSystem  -Root    Server01 Public   add -persist at the end  you will create a persisted mapped network drive  New-PSDrive -Name  P  -PSProvider  FileSystem  -Root    Server01 Scripts  -Persist  for more details  refer New-PSDrive - Microsoft Docs
