accessing network drive at startupserver at work running lmgrd from a mapped drive. Previously, when running win2k server, I was able to create a local bat script and setup a scheduled task to launch this bat script that will in turn access the mapped drive with the application and licenses. This worked fine until i switched over to Windows XP. Now my script fails to access the mapped drive at startup. And when I manually run the scheduled task, it will start but stop when I log off. So my question... Is there anyway for me to access a mapped drive in XP at startup and run an application in the background. Here is my bat script: set DRIVE_LETTER=T: echo %DATE% %TIME% > C:\autoexnt.log net use %DRIVE_LETTER% \\192.27.176.253\license /USER:administrator / PERSISTENT:YES 2>> C:\autoexnt.log echo %ERRORLEVEL% >> C:\autoexnt.log set hh=%time:~0,2% if "%time:~0,1%"==" " set hh=0%hh:~1,1% set yymmdd_hhmmss=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%_%hh%%time:~3,2% %time:~6,2% set HOSTNAME=%COMPUTERNAME% set LICENSE=Ansys set LOG_NAME=%yymmdd_hhmmss%_%HOSTNAME%.log for %%i in (%LICENSE%) do %DRIVE_LETTER%\%%i\bin\lmgrd.exe -local -c %DRIVE_LETTER%\%%i\license\license.dat -l %DRIVE_LETTER%\%%i\log\%%i- %LOG_NAME% On Feb 27, 1:22 pm, d_d***@my-deja.com wrote:

I can use the net use command after boot up to map the drive just fine. But when the task is scheduled to start at startup in the bat script, the net use command returns an error 67: "System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found". <d_d***@my-deja.com> wrote in message

I take it you know how to set autologon, and are using that?
AutoIt suggests itself for scripting the program start. This way you can: Ping the machine to ensure the network's up. Map the drive. Test the connection, and repeat if mapping wasn't successful. Sleep for a number of milliseconds. Run the program. http://www.autoitscript.com You could also do this with KixStart, though I prefer AutoIt. ok. placing a sleep 60 statement at the beginning of the bat script
allowed enough time for the network to come up. 'sleep' is available on the windows 2003 resource kit which works for xp: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. i hope it helps others in the future.
