Difficulty: MediumMicrosoft Command-Line Tools

A desktop technician needs to map a remote shared folder located at \\NAS01\Reports to local drive letter R: on a Windows workstation using the Command Prompt. The technician must authenticate using an alternate domain account named CORP\tech_admin. Which of the following commands should the technician execute to accomplish this task?

  1. net use R: \\NAS01\Reports /user:CORP\tech_adminAnswer
  2. B
    net share R:=\\NAS01\Reports /user:CORP\tech_admin
  3. C
    mount \\NAS01\Reports R: -o user=CORP\tech_admin
  4. D
    net map R: \\NAS01\Reports /credentials:CORP\tech_admin

Answer

net use R: \\NAS01\Reports /user:CORP\tech_admin
The command 'net use R: \\NAS01\Reports /user:CORP\tech_admin' correctly connects the local system to the specified remote share folder, maps it to the designated drive letter R:, and passes the specified domain credentials for authentication.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the core objective and environment requirement.
Connect to a remote SMB share (\\NAS01\Reports) as local drive letter R: using alternate domain credentials (CORP\tech_admin) via Windows CLI.
Mapping network drives requires choosing the appropriate utility designed for outbound SMB share management.
2
Select the correct command-line tool and parameters.
Use net use specifying the target drive letter, remote path, and /user: switch for alternate credentials.
The net use utility manages client-side network connections and drive mappings in Microsoft Windows.
