Explanation

Common mistakes.

A. 'mount' is a Unix/Linux command and is not a valid Windows command for connecting to network shares.
C. 'net mount' is not a valid Windows command; the correct command name is 'net use'.
D. This syntax is invalid because the username must be preceded by the '/u:' switch; omitting the switch causes the command to fail.
