Ummm... Do you know what net use * /delete does?
The answer would be delete all drive mappings.
It is then up to you to do the net use commands to remap drives to
whatever you want them to map to. A login script would make this
simple...

That won't work because I will want multiple drives with different drive
letter assignments un-mapped and remapped to the same drive letter using
the new server name. These users also have mappings to different
servers, which need to remain intact.

Subject: Changing Mappings after server re-name
Does anyone know if it is possible to re-map existing drives through a
log on script after changing a server name? This is the situation we
have; We are 'upgrading', format, install fresh, and restore
information, one of our servers from NT4 to 2000 and in the process we
are renaming the server from APPS_SERVER to APPS2, to keep in line with
Internet DNS naming standards. I know that there will be numerous
people with mapped drives to this server such as "Prog on 'Apps_Server'
(P:)". Is there a way through 2000 logon scripts or, 3rd party
software, that upon logon the users drive mappings can be reviewed and
through the use of variables accomplish something like this; if
%drive_leter% = 'Apps_Server' then net delete 'Apps_Server' and Net Use
'Apps2', to whatever drive letter the directory was originally mapped.
We need to use a variable for the drive letter because there are
numerous shared directories that are mapped to numerous different Drive
Letters, most done manually by department or individual developers.
Thanks in advance for any help.
