In Windows 10, How to map network drive as System Account?

I need to map a network drive as local system account.

In windows 7, I've used PsExec tool to start a Command Prompt as System and use "net use" command to map the required network drive. The commands I've used are as follows:

psexec -s -i cmd.exe
net use z: \\<ip_addr>\<share_name>

In Windows 10, that command doesn't seem to work. System Error 58 is showed up.

How can I map a network drive as System Account in Microsoft newest OS?

The answers here may apply and help potentially (http://superuser.com/questions/47382/system-error-58-while-accessing-shares-on-windows-7-from-xp). I'm surprised mapping to a network resource with SYSTEM works to authenticate to the shared resource but I've never done it that way or tested using the SYSTEM account. You might read this over too even though the error isn't exactly the same but you may find it helpful (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2686098).

Just came across the same problem trying to map a network drive on Windows 10 from a samba server.

Specifying a valid (samba) user in the net use command solved this:

net use z: \\server\share /user:username password
