Very doable, but its going to be a bit of a pain.
You can issue 'net use' without any arguments to get the list of current
mapped drives, then parse that for the specific server and do a net use x:
/d and then remap it.
Alternately, this is a bit easier with VBScript and Windows Scripting host,
but its still not trivial. Don't have an example of either, however...
