Well unless I'm mistaken SUBST is only designed to be used with Local
Physical Drive mapping issues and NOT UNC paths! SUBST /? Returns the
following
Associates a path with a drive letter.
SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D
drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a
path.
[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive.
/D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.
Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.
For UNC you should be using NET USE !

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.
Can someone PLEASE help :-(
