Is it possible to copy mapped network drives after recreating a profile?
Some users have 20 areas mapped and it is a nightmare to do this manually.

Thanks

I suspect you mean "remembered mapped drives". These settings
are visible here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network. Instead of
relying on remembered connections, you should use logon scripts
of the form

net use G: \\SomeServer\SomeShare

They are far more robust and they will neatly resolve your current
problem.

Just tried to export the registry setting and that is exactly what I was
looking for. Thank you very much. I suspect your other answer would involve
me changing company policies?

You can do it with policies or by placing a logon batch file
into the netlogon share.
