[cisco-voip] Mounting a Shared Folder on Another Computer with a .bat File

[Pat Hayes]

You might want to redirect the output from the command in your batch
file to a text file, such as:

net use \\share >> C:\JobOutput.txt 2>&1

(you need the 2>&1 to redirect stderr to the same file) Then, after
the job runs, you can read the output in that file.
