   net use question

   Hi All,   
      
   I use this command to check if someone is missing the file mount.   
   I put it in their start up:   
      
   set dr=G   
   if not exist %dr%:\nul  (   
         net use %dr%: \\server\public   
   ) ELSE (   
   echo %dr%: is already mounted   
   )   
      
   Works fine.  Problem.  I mount several drives this way.   
   Not everyone is allowed in every drive (depends on their   
   group assignments in Samba).   
      
   If they try to mount a drive they are  not allow in, the   
   line stops with a question.  Not something the user can   
   handle in a start up script.   
      
   Is there any way to cancel the "net use" if the user is   
   not allowed in?   
      
   I am thinking of doing a "net use * \\server" to see   
   everything and then pick out what shows, but this is   
   a pain in the butt with batch script.   
      
   Many thanks,   
   -T
