RE: [SA-list] Check desktop for existence of a mapped network drive
Is your computer losing the drive during the day or when it is idle over night? Or at login/logoff? Maybe instead of running a check for the drive, you can launch a VBScript or Batch file, before or as your call to the program you need the mapped drive for? Maybe put it in the login script, if you are missing the drive at login? All depends on the situation with the drive I guess.

RE: [SA-list] Check desktop for existence of a mapped network drive
Share the suspect drive, put a no-name.txt file in the root directory, and check for the existence of the file in the shared directory. I use this technique to validate various conditions.

RE: [SA-list] save/restore setup
Here is my script.
The most important lines are :
1. reg.exe EXPORT "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DBU Consulting\Servers
Alive" "C:\ServersAlive\Backup\RegistryExport.reg" /y
=> exports the registry to a REG file
2. 7za.exe a "C:\ServersAlive\Backup\%$ZIP%" "C:\ServersAlive\config"
=> makes a copy of my entries file and HTML templates (in folder
"C:\ServersAlive\config") and puts it into a ZIP file
7za.exe is 7-zip CLI tool.
3. 7za.exe a "C:\ServersAlive\Backup\%$ZIP%" "C:\ProgramData\Woodstone"
-xr!sa_runtime.db
=> makes a copy the groups.grp file and appends it into a ZIP-file
The environment variable %$ZIP% contains a timestamp, ex. "mmdd -
hhmmss ~ ServersAlive.zip"

Yes, I have a batch that makes an export of the registry and copy the
entries file, and some other files, into a ZIP file.
I'll send it tomorrow.

Is there any way to save (export, backup) the overall Servers Alive
"setup" to transfer to another machine? Registry settings somewhere?
Files to transfer?
Thank you.
