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

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.

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.
