Net.exe use 'Error: A command was used with conflicting switches.' while using /savecred

command-prompt, drive-mapping, networking, windows-services

Solution

When we use `/savecred` switch we should not give the credentials in the same line. The correct command should be:

net use P: \\server\folder /savecred /persistent:yes

It will ask for username and password.

Problem

I am trying to use following command to map a drive in persistent mode, and I don't want it to ask login credentials everytime I reboot the machine: ``` net use P: \\server\folder Password123 /user:user123 /savecred /persistent:yes ``` But I am getting folowing error: ``` A command was used with conflicting switches. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3510. ``` I followed this article: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/p/net-use-command.htm Please help with this issue.
