The usual caveats would apply: that you're at the mercy of layout changes in "NET USE" and of i18n changes to the "OK" text. But both of those are low risk and if it works for you and you're in control of your environment, then it's fine. There's something somewhat satisfying in employing the underlying API for what should be a future-proof solution, but parsing stdout is a well-established approach as well. > BTW, Thank you for the information on your website.
