@oraniko you need to keep in mind the client runs as Windows service, which gets run as SYSTEM (that is, a non-interactive user). This means you’ll need to take non-supported approach to get this working. Change
net use r: \ph.ph.biu.ac.il\Programs MYPASSWORD /user:DOMAIN\MYUSERNAME
to
net use r: \ph.ph.biu.ac.il\Programs MYPASSWORD /user:DOMAIN\MYUSERNAME /persistent:yes

Now, you need to keep in mind SYSTEM now owns this network mapping, and so only SYSTEM can remove it. In addition, Microsoft doesn’t really support this, so its likely the drive will show as disconnected for all users, but it should still be accessible if they try to open it.

Perhaps a better approach would be to make a GPO logon script to auto mount these network shares.
