What he's saying is that UserA may need drive E mapped to Server1\Share1 for
a particular software to work, where as UserB may need Drive E mapped to
Serve2\Share2 for a different piece of software to work. If he just blanket
deletes drive E and maps it to ServerX\ShareX the at least one of the two
users now has broke software.
The only option I can think of is to possibly dump each user's registry on
login to a text file, the do a search and replace on that file for the old
server name, then apply the changes. I don't know what the particular keys
you'd need are...

Why not use
Net use E: /del
Net use F: /del
Net use G: /del
.
.
Net use X: /del
Net use Y: /del
Net use Z: /del
You are then working with a blank canvas and can add drive letters as you
see fit.
