RE: net use

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Ken,

forget the scripts. The problem is this: -

The network drives are mapped. They show up as "Disconnected Network Drive"
in Explorer. Clicking on them allows access to a network share.
Net use does not show them as mapped, therefore net use /delete cannot unmap
them. similarly, the cannot be unmapped by using the Explorer, Tools,
"Disconnect network drive". I can find no way of unmapping the drives. That's
all I want to do, unmap the drive.

There is a corruption somewhere, as the drives are not registering properly.
HOW can I remove them?

The history as to how this may have happened is this: The server may have
changed name. It was certainly on a different domain before, and has now been
moved to a new domain. Nothing too contentious, but it seems Server2003 has
found this difficult to cope with. All Servers are fully patched and
maintained.

Hi,

Please understand we do not support any script related issue. However, you
may use the following commands to delete the network drives:
net use /persistent:no
net use * /delete /y

| I have narrowed down the fault. It is being caused by the failure of
already
| mapped drives to properly register in T.S.. Drives mapped to two servers
(One
| AD, one member) are showing this fault, drives mapped to another server
(an
| AD/Exchange Server) are fine.
| The currently mapped drives show up as "Disconnected Network Drive" in
| explorer, although on clicking on them they act as normal. Even the
| decription of one of them shows a previous mapping to one server whereas
that
| server has gone and been replaced by another, whose files correctly show
when
| the drive is accessed.
| I suppose what I need is to be able to delete these drives. Using the net
| use command with a spare drive letter works perfectly, so it is a case of
| disconnecting these drive letters first before trying to re map them.
|
| Any ideas how to do this for a Terminal Server (all users) that will fix
| this problem?
|
| As a bit of background, we used to have a couple of Small Business NT4
| servers that we previously mapped these drives to, on a different domain
(it
| was a difficult upgrade). We are now all 2003 and the drives have moved
to
| the 2003 servers. It seems the T.S. config has got a bit confused.

| Thanks
