  • Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. About #1, we are stuck using a single smb user, for reasons that are outside my control. #2 is not trivial (using a script): username + password + /persistent:yes + /savecred throws a "conflicting switches" error. The solution seems to be using cmdkey combined with net use, but that was not trivial either (will retry though). #3 is of course an option, but I don't like having the plaintext password in each user's machine. I don't know about #4, I'll need to do some research. Nice summary, thanks again! Commented Feb 9, 2021 at 7:30
  • Option #2 ended up working ! With some extra steps, but it works: I have a added a full answer below to show the script. Thanks a lot, I was a bit lost regarding those authentication + registration issues, and you answer helped to clarify those tricky things. Commented Feb 9, 2021 at 10:46
