The following will work in NT4 and Win2K (the FOR line long, and ends with %%w)
new server name = NEWSERVER
old server name = OLDSYSTEM
@ECHO OFF
set SERVER=OLDSYSTEM
for /f "eol=c tokens=2,3" %%v in ('net use ^| find /i "%SERVER%"') do CALL :SwapShare
%%v %%w
GOTO :EOF
:SwapShare
set DRIVE=%1
set SHARE=%2
set SHARE=%SHARE:OLDSYSTEM=NEWSERVER%
net use %DRIVE% /D /Y
net use %DRIVE% %SHARE%
GOTO :EOF
