script to change existing drive mappings to point to new servername

Here is a simple example that will check to see if drive S: is mapped. If it is,it will remove it and remap to the specified share:

Dim WshNetwork,fso
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fso.DriveExists("S") Then
      WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "S:", true, true
end if

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "S:", "\\serverb\sharename"
Set fso = Nothing
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

My users will likely have at least two drive mappings with various drive letters, (drive letters won't be the same from PC to PC).  Is there an easy way to check for a drive mapping, then change the servername path if it matches the old server name?  Then map the drive with the new servername and make it persistent?

Thanks

Something like this?


Dim WshNetwork,drv,DriveList,x
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set DriveList = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives

For x = 1 to DriveList.Count Step 2
   if Lcase(DriveList.Item(x)) = Lcase("\\servera\share") Then
        drv = DriveList.Item(x -1)
      WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive drv, true, true
                WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive drv, "\\serverb\sharename"
   end if
Next

Set WshNetwork = Nothing

So that will search through the existing drive mappings, check if a particular server is used, then delete the drive mappins and re-create them with the new servername?

Thanks

Actually that is checking for the full share name. I think you want something like this:


Dim WshNetwork,drv,DriveList,x,NewShare
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set DriveList = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives

For x = 1 to DriveList.Count Step 2
   if Instr(Lcase(DriveList.Item(x)),Lcase("\\servera\")) > 0 Then
        NewShare = Replace(DriveList.Item(x),"\\servera\","\\serverb\")
      drv = DriveList.Item(x -1)
        WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive drv, true, true
        WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive drv, NewShare
   end if
Next

Set WshNetwork = Nothing

Ok, I'll give that a shot.  Will that map the drive as persistent?  

ooops,forgot that. Change this line:

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive drv, NewShare

To:

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive drv, NewShare , True

When I run your script, I get

Line 10
Char 9
Error: the network name cannot be found
code: 80070043
Source: WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive

How can I fix that?

Thanks

That means the script found a share on the old server that does not exist on the new server.

Oh ok.  Sorry, my mistake.  Thanks again!!!!  It worked then, I was wondering why it was doing one drive, but not the other.  I appreciate the help!!!

thanks
Joe

Thats ok, I want this to be transparent, because end users may be running this script.  Thanks for your help!!! It works!!!
