I'm not sure what you mean by "can't map a drive letter for it".

Instead of "Net use ...", I use "pushd [UNC-Path]" which either fails
(errorlevel >= 1) or puts you straight in the right directory of a newly
mapped drive. So you don't have to care about drive letters.

See "help pushd" for more details.
