Where is the problem? This is not an error message, it is just for
information.
Your log:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 250 milliseconds
The build finished successful, no error messages from/inside cmd.exe ...
I tried your code and there are two problems:
1. use <arg line> instead of <arg value> because spaces must not be
masked
2. use a leading "/C" because cmd.exe needs that ...
<project>
<property name="drive" value="B:"/>
<property name="unc" value="\\computer\share"/>
<exec executable="cmd.exe">
<arg line="/C NET USE ${drive} ${unc}"/>
</exec>
</project>
Tried out with
$net use
$ant
$net use
ant I could see that the drive was not connected before and was
connected after the Ant run.
If you want to encapsulate this command you could use <macrodef> for
that.
<project>
<macrodef name="mapdrive">
<attribute name="drive"/>
<attribute name="unc"/>
<sequential>
<exec executable="cmd.exe" taskname="mapdrive">
<arg line="/C NET USE @{drive} @{unc}"/>
</exec>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<macrodef name="unmapdrive">
<attribute name="drive"/>
<sequential>
<exec executable="cmd.exe"
taskname="unmapdrive">
<arg line="/C NET USE @{drive} /D"/>
</exec>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<target name="map">
<mapdrive drive="B:" unc="\\L011benutzer\f007777"/>
</target>
<target name="unmap">
<unmapdrive drive="B:"/>
</target>
</project>
Next step would be a "windows AntLib" .... ;)
