Batch | Net use Password -

sorry bad english, if can great. have couple of file system on network , every night need take 1 file file system mine. happen i'm using batch script how mapping me drive net use command. problem don't want password go through clear text ( see password or sniff it). questions :

there way can encrypt password , still login same credentials.

thank you

if can set domain controller using either 1 of windows machines, or samba, use trusted authentication based on user executing scheduled job executes batch file.

alternately, encrypt password , have program decrypt , execute net use, you're always* going faced fact if computer can send password out when don't type in, computer knows password, , physical access computer can password.

*unless computer doesn't know password, , instead relies on hsm (hardware security module).
