In an app I'm writing, I'm using the NET USE command with domain specific login credentials to map drives to shares on a couple DEV servers at work. Is there a way to send the password accross the network with encryption rather than clear text when using the command-line to map network drives?

Try Runas Professional. You can save the password encrypted in a file that the program uses to run other programs.

Thanks Davros, I'll check this out. I went ahead and ran a sniffer check out if the password was sent in clear text, and it wasn't. Looks like I'm good to go anyways.
