en Passant not letting life just pass on by

Working on network workstations, I found I needed a method to tell when they came online. I wanted a script to email me so I could receive it on my PDA when the connection worked. This way I could be working in the wiring cabinet and hear it successfully connect.

For quite some time, I have wanted to develop a batch script that I could use to automate the process of backing up my documents then email them to myself. Using my GMail account's enormous capacity, I can keep several copies of my documents accessible online without having to worry about drive space.

This short script will map a drive letter to all the admin shares to a remote computer. My plan was to use this script when I use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to access a computer from home. I will run this script and map all my home computer hard drives to the work computer. Now I can transfer files between the two locations, without using tricks like emailing the file to myself.
