here are some good example of how to map network drives and printers with a script <a href="http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_scripts.htm" rel="ugc">http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_scripts.htm</a><br />
you can just create a script with all the settings and mappings then run it or push it to every machine

Looking more for the copy part. &nbsp;How can I copy the current mapped printer and drive shares and then move to a different machine and reapply them exactly for the same user profile? &nbsp;I dont want have to write down each mapping for each user and then manually map each printer and share on their replacement PCs.

Looking for a way to backup a user's network drive mappings as well as network printer mappings so that they can be reapplied on a replacement pc. &nbsp;Is there software for this or possibly a script that can backup to file and then reapply the settings on a target machine?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
