I am trying to perform a network copy of files via a batch script. However, as usual there are some networks where the 'copy' command fails saying 'Bad username or password'.

And when I try using xcopy, it never works.

I have also tried using,

net use \\server\ password /user:domain\username
net use \\server\ipc$ /user:domain\username password

But none of these work. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? I was also wondering if it is possible to prompt the ususal Windows login dialog for this...(just an idea)

Any leads on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
