net use ?

[slettebo]

The net use command is missing som feature that i need. I see that is possible to map any netbios name with share or IP with share, but it is impossible to map a domain-name with share.

Net use works with this syntax:

net use * \\IP\share password /user:username and

net use * \\NetBiosName\share password /user:username

but not this:

net use * \\host.domain.com\share password /user:username

Is there any powertool i can use to make this possible. I am installing unattended software from many places in my network and i need to install application from a station that is mapped to a network share from a host.domain.com

Any who know?

(sorry my bad english)

At least from XP a NET USE does accept using the FQDN.

Are you attaching to Windows servers? Samba shares??

net use do not use name-server-request, and that is the problem.

I have mapped a domain-name to a IP, and use tcpdump on my share-box to listen to traffic on udp-port 53. No traffic is generated by net use command.
