I have a Windows 2000 domain, and I have several login scripts that use the
"net use" command to map drives to shares on the server (net use F:
"\\oldservername\sharename). I am replacing my file server and am moving all
of the data (home directories and shared folders) to a new server. I need my
login scripts to map drives to the new server (net use F:
"\\newservername\sharename). I have have changed the login scripts to
reflect the new server name but the drives still get mapped to the old
server. I have tried using the /delete command (net use F:
"\\oldservername\sharename /delete) with no success. All it does is
disconnect the drive (but they still show up in "my computer", just as
disconnected) and the new mappings stilll don't happen. The only way I have
been able to get the drives to map correctly is to right-click on the drive
and select disconnect, this makes the drive disappear from "my computer"
then I can login and get the new (correct) drive mappings. Does anybody know
how to get rid of mapped drives using login scripts? I really need these new
drive mappings to happen the first time users login after I make the new
server "live". My goal is to make the new server "live" and shut down the
old server over a weekend and have the users see nothing different when they
come in the following Monday.

Also check for a batch file in a startup group on the local computers
that maps these drives. Good luck.
