I'm not sure why you should have to logon to the remote shares if 
your credentials already allow that access. It looks like your user 
accounts aren't set up correctly. Anyway you can use NET USE to 
authenticate to a remote resource with a specified user name and 
password. See NET HELP USE (and maybe NET HELP USER).

NET USE \\computer /USER:username password

As has already been stated, this is very insecure. You should at the 
very least store the batch file in a directory which can only be 
accessed by an administrator.
