The relevant part is:
set fl=%CD%\user.txt
if exist %fl% (
for /F "eol= " %%u in (%fl%) do echo %%u:%pwd%
) else (
@echo Unable to locate %fl%
@echo Exiting...
)
Where the echo is currently I'll be using usermod
to modify active directory objects.

There are components in outlook that reference
mail, calendar, etc.And they allow quick access to
one of those components. You also have an
option to create a shortcut to say subfolders
for quick access to subfolders, say a particular
directory for some filtered email. I was just curious
if there was some command line tool that would
allow modification of a user's outlook profile
to change such settings instead of having to
walk a user, over the phone, in creating such
shortcuts.

====================
Your original question was about shares and UNC paths.
Your reply makes no reference to UNC paths, hence I am
unable to comment on it.
Your batch file lines
set fl=%CD%\user.txt
if exist %fl% (
may or may not work, depending on your current working
directory. It would be much safer to code like so:
set fl=%CD%\user.txt
if exist "%fl%" (
I also wonder just how robust your code is when using the
%CD% environmental variable. Do you really know at
all times where the user is? If you do, why not hard-code
it into the batch file?
I am not aware of any command line facilities that let
you modify components in Outlook. However, instead
of "walking" to each machine when assisting a user, you
should consider using some remote support tool such as
Remote Assistance or WinVNC.
