The lack of a specific drive letter or wildcard was deliberate with the batch script. The command completes without mapping anything and changes the current user for the “net time” and subsequent commands. I wanted to avoid mapping a share because I can't guarantee that the same share will be available on every time server in other geographical regions. All the time command requires is an authenticated domain user account - not access to the time server. One option I suppose would be to find or create a globally accessible share that won’t disappear in the near future but I was hoping to find a more elegant approach. Any ideas?
