I have seen many scripts on deleting and mapping drive letters. What I'm trying to do is somehow search for a particlar share already mapped and change it to something else. Not everyone will have the same drive letter for this share (although most of them should). I'm trying to move files to another server and need to change the mapping on each users workstation only if they have it mapped.

thanks in advance

Check out fnMapped(), it'll let you determine if a share is mapped, and to what letter.

From there, you can use the built-in USE to unmap and remap the shares to the correct drive letters.

Why don't you use a UNC insead?
Code:
copy 'c:\local\folder\file.txt' '\\server\share\folder\'

I would like to do something similar, but rather than read the drive letter associated with a share, I would like to read the share name assocuated with the drive letter.

Any thoughts?
