net use Command

A Windows command that connects, lists, or removes mapped network drives and shares.

Definition

net use Z: \\server\share /persistent:yes maps a drive letter to a share, net use lists connections, and net use Z: /delete removes it. It can also supply alternate credentials with /user. PowerShell's New-PSDrive is an alternative.

Example

net use S: \\fs01\Sales /persistent:yes

Exam tip

Persistent mappings reconnect at logon; know the /persistent and /delete switches.
