Re: Mapping drives

Sorry for the delayed response... No, it won't map "T" twice (It can only be
mapped to one resource anyway). Look closer at the code.

The script enters the IF statement and first checks to see if "T" is already
in use. If so...
Next is checks to see if "T" is mapped to the correct share. In the first
case, it was correctly mapped and can exit the sub.
Else, "T" was in use, but not mapped to the correct share. So Remove "T" and
then remap it to the correct share, then exit the sub.
If "T" was not in use, then the script skips the IF statements and just maps
the drive and now you can exit the sub. Works every time!
