Using Commands in Batch Programs

LAN Manager Basic commands can be used in batch programs (.BAT files), such as AUTOEXEC.BAT. For example, you can group the commands for starting the Workstation service, logging on to the network, and making network connections in one executable program. Command options can also be included in batch programs. To avoid confusion, do not abbreviate command options when putting commands in a batch program.

	NOTE: To maintain network security, do not put your password in a batch program. Instead, use an asterisk (*) where the password would go, to be prompted for the password when the batch program is run. The password will not be displayed as you type it.
