What is this switch for when using the USE command to map drives?

Re: /persistent

It's like when you are using "Map Network Drive" in the windows gui, and you check the box to "Reconnect at Logon"

For the most part this is not suggested when using a logon script.

The main reason for not being suggested is that these setting have to be written to the Registry.

For logon scripting the switch is most often used when DELETE-ing existing mappings, as KiXtart will fail to delete a persistent mapping if you don't specify the switch.

Sorry to bring the thread back from the dead.

So this explains that we see scripts like below? The need to remove it from the registry?

use z: /delete /persistent

TIA,

Re: /persistent

yep.
only persisten connections need to be deleted during logon as other types of connections don't exist at that time.
