Persistent non-driveletter network connection not renewing
Hello there I have a peculiar problem here, let me first explain what I'm trying to do. I'd like to sync various network shares with Synctoy which have different user credentials to access them. Setting up the sync is no problem but after a reboot those credentials are obviously lost. What I like to do now is setting up those network shares without a drive-letter, persistent and save the credentials. The syntax for this is: net use \\server\share$ /persistent:y /savecred You then have to enter a username and password and the connection is successfully made. Adding the /user parameter doesn't seem to work for some odd reason together with the /savecred parameter. After rebooting however this connection is lost, it's not disconnected but just plain gone. If I do the same thing with a drive letter this works perfectly. I don't really want drive letters since it's quite a few connections that need to be made and all this happens in the background anyway. Is there any differentiation security-wise how network shares are built up, as in with a driveletter and without one? Since connections without a driveletter are semi-hidden I could assume this is the case. Any ideas?

Hi, Based on my understanding, deviceless connections are not persistent.
