For a remote drive wouldn't you use NET USE X: \\server\share <file://\\server\share> Subst is only for redirecting local folders. -----Original Message----- From: Guzzo, Mark A (Mark) [mailto:guzzo@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 24 May 2005 16:43 To: 'Windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] SUBST error Hello all, I have this issue when I (as the Domain Admin) try and run this command: "SUBST X: \\server\shared_out <file:///\\server\shared_out> " The problem is that in explorer the mapped drive has a RED X on it. At first that pointed me to this http://thethin.net/faqs2.cfm?id=294 <http://thethin.net/faqs2.cfm?id=294&category=2&sortby=date> &category=2&sortby=date and this Q269163. But I have a twist to it, I CAN NOT access it. It error out with this "X:\ is not accessible, The filename, directory name, or volume lable syntax is incorrect" This command works fine if I do this "SUBST X: \\The_Local_Server\shared_out <file:///\\The_Local_Server\shared_out> " but that's not using a file server.
