Cannot disconnect mapped drives

[Kiwica]

Hi.. running server2003 with A/D and a mix of w2k and xp pro clients.

We use a script to map to network drives, an example of the script is:
@echo off
net use f: \\servername\resource\path
net use t: \\servername\resource\path
net use h: \\servername\resource\path

The script works fine. Heres my problem... I recently needed to change the path on one of my drives, so i updated the script, logged out and back it. the drive in question remains in its old state, ie pointing to the old path.

I have tried the net use /delete command to no avail. when I look on the client using explorer, it show the old drive with its contents, but when i try and manually disconnect the drive it tells me network connection not found????

It appears that the old state is being cached somewhere, but I dont know where, or how to stop this...any ideas?

ps..this has been a couple of days now, so we are way past the default refresh period...

Switch your script to vbscript and you can specify to use the "True" switch which should force the removal.

Refer to my FAQ for an example login script that does all you need ot do. faq329-5798

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

Is this happening domain wide or just on a few clients?

If domain wide: Active directory profiles also have the ability to specify mappings and group policies can also perform redirections.

If just a few clients: You may find batch files on some PC's that map drive being called from the startup folder or other locations.
