I resolved this by delaying startup of the backup App for 5 minutes after startup (via WinPatrol).<br /><br />Similarly, a delay may help before attempting to re-connect the Mapped Drives. I'll try your batch file, incorporate a delay before it executes, and see what happens.<br /><br />I will be really happy if ALL Mapped Drives are fully functional once the PC has completed it startup processes.<br /><br />THANKS!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009906358192638154.post-31505559351720087562013-09-29T09:16:40.805+01:002013-09-29T09:16:40.805+01:00Is there a way to get the batch job to run with it...Is there a way to get the batch job to run with its window minimized?

It sees the network as unavailable until accessed. Could you suggest a way that would make the network be accessed before trying to run this task? It seems that until then this will not work properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009906358192638154.post-44149574952101520722013-04-05T14:15:56.222+01:002013-04-05T14:15:56.222+01:00Craig,

I was hoping that MS would fix it, but alas...<br /><br />I have a ReadyNAS Duo v1, which has 3 shares on it, so I had to repeat the USE NET commands 3 times, once per share. It all works fine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004350430905797332noreply@blogger.com
