I'm the new Windows 2003 Active Directory admin at my company. Right now we have about 300+ Windows XP workstations. They are stil using Kix scripts to map users to different network shares. Anyway, right now everyone's network account is setup with one of 15 different batch files that point to a specific kix script depending on their department or location / remote site. Anyway I'm going to be replace our file server at one of our remote sites and need to update users login scrript to use the new server name instead of the old one. How can I do this? Can a kix script be smart enough to use logic like if \\older-server exist change to \\New-Server??? Please help. Also how would I address users had have hard coded drive mapping to my older file server?

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
