Let's say that a user has these maps: h: \\serverXX\comercial\test o: \\siteh\technical r: \\serverA\dept\Finance u: \\serverA\sales If you put in the script to change just from \\serverA to \\serverB, the user above will have the letters r: remapped to \\serverB\dept\Finance and u: to \\serverB\sales. If you put in the script to change from \\serverA\dept to \\serverB\dept, the user above will have only the letter r: remapped to \\serverB\dept\Finance. Basically the script will search for drives that contains the text of the variable old_path, if some driver is founded, the script will delete that driver and recreate the same driver using replacing the text of old_path variable by the text of new_path variable, keeping the remaning path of the driver.

Some of the network drives mapping for our users are from our Windows login script, however majority of the users do their own network drive mapping. Will your script work to re-map user's network drive mapping from serverA to serverB? e.g. if they have R: drive mapped to \\serverA\Dept\Finance, can your script re-map it to \\serverB\Dept\Finance ? Dept is our shared name. Thank you in advance. I am doing a file server migration from serverA to serverB.
