So here is the deal: Many moons ago, our desktop support mapped network drives by visiting every workstation and mapped the drives manually. Now, the department head wants to rename the shared folder that the network drive was pointing to. My question is, instead of revisiting every workstation again, can I use a script specific to an OU to remap the network drive? My concerns are, will the script 'override' the current network drive mappings? Or will it error out, or what? Hope that makes sense.

Hi Yes you can use scripts Your script should look like: net use /delete X: (Where x: is logical mark) net use X: \\servername\sharename (optional is $ at the end) Save script as .bat. If you are using ActiveDirectory you can put this script in c:\windows\sysvol\domain\script and distribute for all users to use this scriptBest regards Dubravko Marak MCP Blog: Windows Server Administration Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi, You can easily achieve this through GPP if you are using 2008 and above. http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2009/02/11/gp-preferences-will-reduce-logon-scripts-mapping-drives.aspx Or you can use simple login script to disconnect the existing mapped drives and remap the drives. http://loginscripts.info/network-drives.asp Regards, Rafic If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote.

Hi, Agree with above, either gpp or logon script is ok. With GPP you can choose Replace or Update for action.

One more question. With the net use /delete batch, can I run this once per user? Thanks again.

Hi You can run net use /delete every time. Or you can modify script (comment this lines) after first use I use this everytime. Script is running on every logon.Best regards Dubravko Marak MCP, MVP Blog: Windows Server Administration Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
