Creating a Batch file to map the network drive G

County with a File Server

Batch files are used to automatically map network drives each time a State machine is rebooted or started up in the morning. These batch files are only for state machines.

1. On a state computer, check if there is a .bat(batching) file on the computer using file path - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. You can also use Windows + R and enter shell:common startup

NOTE: If there is currently a batch file skip to step 3

2. If there is not currently a batch file on the State computer then open a blank notepad document.
3. Type the following commands into the notepad:

@echo off

net use /delete \\10.65.#.93\fimage

netuse /delete G:

net use \\10.65.#.93\fimage /user:##clerk\deputy setup

net use G: \\10.65.#.93\DeputyShare /user:##clerk\deputy setup

If there is already a batch file, right click on the file and select Edit to verify the information is correct.     NOTE:  # – County number or name

4. Click File and select Save As. Name the file bat, choosing All Files as the file type. (Older machines may have the file saved as fimage.bat – moving forward when creating new file, save as netuse.bat)

5. Save the .bat file in the startup folder at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp 

6. Double click and run the saved batch file. A black command prompt window will pop up and run through its process. Check to be sure that the DeputyShare (G:) drive has been mapped and is available.
