Copying a file to mapped drive not working - windows

Question

I am trying to connect to a network drive, copy a file and move it to another location, and log if it is successful or not. This is what I got so far:
#echo off
#setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
if exist Transfer_logfile.txt (
ECHO Y | del Transfer_logfile.txt
)
set LogFile=_logfile.txt
set logg=^> _^&^& type _^&^&type _^>^>%LogFile%
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (ipaddresses.txt) do (
net use \\%%A\c$\test /USER:test %logg%
echo copying files across to %%A... %logg%
COPY -f -R -Y C:\test\test.exe \\%%A\c$\test\test.exe %logg%
echo Copy completed.. %logg%
net use \\%%A\c$\test /delete /Y %logg%
)
pause
Any help on how to finish this of would be appreciated.
I am struggling to save any errors in the output. If it errors I want it to just save that it failed in output and go on to the next IP in the IP address text file.
I think, I need to wrap an if around the net use checking that the ip address pings first. However this does not work.
#echo off
#setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
if exist Transfer_logfile.txt (
ECHO Y | del Transfer_logfile.txt
)
set LogFile=_logfile.txt
set logg=^> _^&^& type _^&^&type _^>^>%LogFile%
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (ipaddresses.txt) do (
ping -n %%A > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 (
echo
ELSE goto :skipcopyhost1
net use \\%%A\c$\test %logg%
echo copying files across to %%A... %logg%
COPY -f -R -Y C:\test\test.exe \\%%A\c$\test\test.exe %logg%
echo Copy completed.. %logg%
net use \\%%A\c$\test /delete /Y %logg%
)
pause

Try this not tested batch code:
#echo off
if not exist ipaddresses.txt goto :EOF
setlocal
del /F Transfer_logfile.txt 2>nul
set "LogFile=Transfer_logfile.txt"
for /F %%A in (ipaddresses.txt) do (
%SystemRoot%\System32\ping.exe -n %%A >nul
if errorlevel 1 (
echo %%A is not available in network.>>%LogFile%
) else (
echo Connecting to %%A ...>>%LogFile%
%SystemRoot%\System32\net.exe use X: \\%%A\c$\test /persistent:no /Y 2>&1 >>%LogFile%
echo Copying file to %%A ...>>%LogFile%
copy /B /V /Y C:\test\test.exe X:\test.exe 2>&1 >>%LogFile%
echo Disconnecting from %%A ...>>%LogFile%
%SystemRoot%\System32\net.exe use X: /delete /Y 2>&1 >>%LogFile%
)
echo.>>%LogFile%
)
endlocal
pause
For understanding the used commands and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read entirely all help pages displayed for each command very carefully.
copy /?
del /?
for /?
goto /?
if /?
net /?
net use /?
set /?

I don't explain all the errors in your code as they are too many.
