Mike, You could try using the "Net Use" dos command would do what you want.
Eg net use Q: \\computer_name\shared_folder If you think the drive letter may already be used then first do Net use Q: /DELETE There is a password option in the command do a net use /? At the dos prompt to see the format. This will remove the mapping. I also have an API call that will do this somewhere. If you need it then I'll try and find it. Other than that, the login scripts could do this automatically. However using login scripts with wireless connections is somewhat fraught with problems as I have found to my cost as the wireless network connection sometimes seems to need time to "settle down" before accessing any drives/shares.

I'm not sure of the exact terminology, so give me a break! :) I have a mapped drive letter W: which is connected to \\server\somefolder. somefolder needs most if not all rights for admin users, regular users should not have the ability to delete files though. We have notebooks with wireless access. When the notebook users login, drive W, though it was set to reconnect at logon, does not always connect. The user's passwords match the password for their accounts on the server. In one case the login password is not the same as that on the server. That user has the particular password remembered by clicking remember password on that folder. Running Windows Explorer and clicking on drive W always reconnects it. I cannot see how it would be manageable to have the loader remap the drive. That would require users and admins specific files with encrypted passwords. How about login scripts? Is that possible with Server 2003? If so, how? Any other suggestions?
