Hi
If you have Active Directory, and your AD Sites are defined up
along with your subnet locations, this is another way
(using VBScript):
'--------------------8<----------------------
Set oADsSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
sSiteName = oADsSysInfo.SiteName
' use only lowercase text in the site names tests
Select Case LCase(sSiteName)
Case "something1"
MapDrive "k:", "\\server1\share"
Case "something2"
MapDrive "k:", "\\server2\share"
Case "something3"
MapDrive "k:", "\\server3\share"
End Select
Sub MapDrive(ByVal sDriveLetter, ByVal sUNCPath)
Set oWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
On Error Resume Next
oWshNet.RemoveNetworkDrive sDriveLetter, True
On Error Goto 0
oWshNet.MapNetworkDrive sDriveLetter, sUNCPath
End Sub
'--------------------8<----------------------
