Changing mapped drives.

[charles kuchar]

I have a script that runs for the students to get mapped drives for their
use. Sometimes they need to sign on to a staff computer because of need
for the computer. If the staff has another drive mapped that drive also
stays on. How can i delete all mapped drives before the script runs for the
student or staff to map the drives they need without conflict? Thank you,
charlie.

Mapped drives are per user, not per machine. So, unless you're using
Windows 98 or something, just loggin on as a different user is all that's
required.

Are some drives mapped phyically? I have changed the students to a new
drive on a different server. However the students folder keeps coming up as
the old mapped drive. Is this a function of the old profile of the users?

Hi

If someone previously have configured a home folder in the user
profile for the user accounts, you will need to change it there
as well.
