By default, Windows uses your current login credentials. To connect as a different user "better," use these methods:
To ensure the drive reappears after a reboot, add the /persistent:yes flag. net use Z: \\ServerName\SharedFolder /persistent:yes cmd map network drive better
Use an asterisk for the password to trigger a secure prompt rather than typing it in plain text. net use Z: \\ServerName\Share /user:Domain\Username * By default, Windows uses your current login credentials
Only use this in private scripts where security is less of a concern. cmd map network drive better
