  I'm near-positive you won't be able to overwrite an *entire disk*
via "NET USE" .  Mapped drives are really just accessing a network
file protocol; the client has no knowledge of the underlying storage.

  You should be able to overwrite individual files on a network drive, though.

  At least, in theory.  One complication in all this is that modern
storage systems may not overwrite-in-place, or may write data to more
than one location.  For example, if the filesystem has journaling
and/or copy-on-write features.  So when you write zeros to the file
you want to erase, what you end up doing is writing zeros to a bunch
of new blocks, while leaving the original blocks untouched on disk.

Heidi's Eraser has a right-click option to erase an entire drive (e.g. a data 
partition).  If you have remote-access (VNC, RDP) to another machine, you could 
certainly run Eraser remotely that way.  Not sure about NET USEd drives, 
though, you'll have to experiment.

Eraser is an advanced security tool for Windows which allows you to 
completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it 
several times with carefully selected patterns. Eraser is currently 
supported under Windows XP (with Service Pack 3), Windows Server 2003 
(with Service Pack 2), Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and 
Windows Server 2008 R2.

Eraser is Free software and its source code is released under GNU General 
Public License.

  You can certainly do raw disk overwrites remotely on Unix/Linux
(including the Unixy part of Mac OS X).

  This will do a write zeros to every block (single-pass) on the first disk:

dd if=/zev/zero of=/dev/sda

  This will do a multi-pass overwrite with sophisticated patterns
and/or random bytes (assuming you have the GNU toolset installed):

shred /dev/sda

  It helps that "remote" vs "local" is a lot more transparent on *nix
vs Windows, but there's still no technical reason I know of why
Windows shouldn't be able to do a similar thing remotely, for
non-system disks.  You'd prolly need a special utility to write the
disk directly, but it should be doable.

  DISKPART has a "CLEAN ALL" command which writes zeros to every block
on the disk.  The chief advantages of this are (1) it's free, (2) it's
simple, and (3) it doesn't need a separate boot.

  It doesn't do any "fancy" overwrite patterns, but I'm not sure those
really matter anymore.  Government agencies say overwrite is no longer
sufficient, so if you're *that* worried overwrite won't help, and if
you're not that worried writing zeros is prolly good enough.

  However, the writing zeros part is broken in at least Win 2003 and
Win XP 64-bit.See MSKB 952630 for details and the hotfix.  No
mention of other releases, so I guess they are not broken (?).
