Just an FYI here. When using Roger's method, I get a traceback, so you
might want to add some caveats to your "How-do-I":
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "\\someServer\scripts\changeDriveLetter.py", line 4, in -toplevel-
v = win32file.GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint('L:\\')
error: (3, 'GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint', 'The system cannot find the
path specified.')
I'm not sure what the issue is, but I suspect that Windows is being dumb.
I don't think this call understands the paths since they are mapped to a
Linux server path which runs Samba. However,I tried it with another drive
that is mapped to a location on one of our NT4 machines and get the same
error.
Can someone get this to work on newer software? Such as an XP client with
a Win2k3 server?
Mike
