Batch Commands and Mapping Network Drives

[johnnytech]

Can you run another batch file or .CMD from the cmdlines.txt?

example

ECHO.

ECHO Mapping Network Drive To servername

net use x: \\servername\netinst

start /wait x:\start.cmd

exit

Also would mapping the network drive work?

I know it works under the windows xp environment because I have tried it. But will it work in the installation mode?

Yes you sure can and you can run more than one if you wish.

You certainly can map a drive, when you say installation mode - at what point are you looking to map the drive? Based on when you are wanting to map the drive will depend on qualifing the final answer

Is this command

net use x: \\computer\share

usable during the GUI Mode of Setup or do I need to wait until setup is finished?
