I'm in the process of moving file servers. Once completed, I will have to change the UNC path that the mapped drive letters used network wide to point to the new machine. I want to handle the change through a VBS logon script that I'll attach to OUs to map different drives.
The goal for the script is to first grab the UNC path for the F: (or whatever drive); if it equals "\old_server\files" then disconnect it and then reconnect it as "\new_server\files". Otherwise, do nothing. There's 5 paths/drives total that this will need to happen for.
I tried using Computer Performance's Already Connected Script but couldn't get it to work. It didn't disconnect the old drive when testing it out on multiple machines.
Any help is appreciated.

If you have a domain, then I'd look at doing a Group Policy Preference for the drive mapping. You should be able to have it map a given UNC to a given drive, and automatically replace any old mappings that exist.
