I’ve been meaning to blog about a command which is a reasonably recent addition to Windows for a few weeks now – cmdkey.exe<\/code> (thanks to John Craddock for highlighting this at a recent XTSeminars<\/a> event).<\/p>\n

Basically Microsoft’s cmdkey<\/a>, introduced with Windows Server 2003 (and which should not be confused with Jason Hood’s companion for cmd.exe<\/code><\/a>), is used to create, list and delete stored security credentials.<\/p>\n

For example, I back up the notebook PC that I use for work to my Netgear ReadyNAS using SyncToy<\/a>. My ReadyNAS does not support Active Directory but it does provide SMB\/CIFS access. This means that I can authenticate directly against a share but the username and password do not match the cached domain credentials on the notebook PC.<\/p>\n

Supplying credentials each time I need to connect (or forgetting to before attempting a sync) is inconvenient, so I used cmdkey<\/code> to store the username and password that I use to connect to the share:<\/p>\n

cmdkey \/add:computername<\/em> \/user:username<\/em> \/pass:password<\/em><\/p>\n

In this case cmdkey<\/code> responded as follows:<\/p>\n

CMDKEY: Credential added successfully.<\/em><\/p>\n

Typing:<\/p>\n

cmdkey \/list<\/code><\/p>\n

returns:<\/p>\n

Currently stored credentials:<\/p>\n

Target: <\/em>computername
\n Type: Domain Password
\n User: <\/em>username<\/p>\n

and I can connect to a share without supplying any credentials:<\/p>\n

net use h: \\\\computername<\/em>\\sharename<\/em><\/code><\/p>\n

The command completed successfully.<\/em><\/p>\n

Furthermore this drive mapping (and stored credentials) persists on reboot – when the computer is restarted, H: is visible as a disconnected drive in Windows Explorer but as soon as I double-click it I connect without a prompt to supply credentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
