Logon Script

[Guest]

I need some scripting help. Windows 2003 server WinXP Pro workstations.
I cannot get the mapped drives to change to a new location ie
currently
net use t: \\server1\file1
I need it now to go to net use t: \\server2\file1

I had used this script since my NT4 days
The problem is that even though I have the new script running the mapped
drive on the workstation stays as the old script. How do I remove the old
mapping to make way for the new mapping?
Thanks

are you talking about persistent mapping? this may help. quoted from
http://howtonetworking.com
Mapping problem - persistent connection

After you changed net use I: \\serverA\shared to \\serverB\shared in your
logon script, some windows 2000 machines are still mapping to
\\serverA\shared. The reason is that net use /persistent:yes is default
settings for NT and win2000/XP. You can disconnect the old mapping and
re-logon. That will map to \\cbgntB\shared. Also you may want to use NET
USE I: \\servername\folder /persistent:no so that next time when we change
the mapping, it will automatically map to the new settings.
