Yes. I do this all the time on a shared network of Windows PCs where the computers have a common authentication arrangement or just trust each other. I find it is normally more convenient to create persistent connections than to run batch files though. Perhaps there are other use cases where a batch file would be useful.

No. Not in the sense I suspect you mean. People who create security arrangements intend that they cannot be trivially bypassed.

You can ask for username and password while the .bat is running, withou saving them in the .bat file.

example:

set /p username=Insert username:
set /p password=Insert password:

net use Z: /delete
net use Z: \\server.yourdomain.local\shared-folder %password% /user:yourdomain\%username%
