My only question here is why in the world are you letting users (or making them) map their own drives. This should be done with logon scripts.

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.
