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.
