Explanation

The NET USE command maps network drives and supports alternate credentials via the /user flag. The syntax is: net use Z: \\server\share /user:domain\username password. This allows a technician to authenticate as a different user account than the currently logged-in Windows account - a common requirement for accessing shares that belong to a different domain or require elevated permissions. TRACERT (A) traces the network route to a host and has nothing to do with authentication or drive mapping. NSLOOKUP (C) queries DNS for name resolution. NETSTAT (D) displays active network connections and listening ports. None of the other options support credential specification for share mapping.
