i need check if a network drive is mapped and accessible. From time to time windows displays a red X on the drive, and i would need to manually click the drive in explorer to reconnect. I already found solutions which involve editing the registry which unfortunately isn´t possible.

So i would need a batch file checking for connection, and (re-)mounting the drive. What i´m using at the moment:

IF NOT EXIST z: net use z: \\10.211.55.5\test

Just an idea, how about attempting to cd into the network share from within the batch script? I suspect that should connect and update the state of the network share for explorer to show that it is connected.

I suspect the registry solutions were something like the following article?

If you can't use the registry however, try the above and see if that re-establishes connection to the network share.
