Cannot remap network drive

[johnisotank]

Hi, could someone help with this pls...

I have a mapped network drive (M that points to our server '\\ServerA\Data'.

I trying to use this vb script to change the network drive to '\\ServerB\Data'.

Set ObjNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") 
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "M:" , "\\ServerB\data"

But I get the following error:

'The local device name has a remembered connection to another network resource'

Any ideas?

Thanks
John

Set ObjNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "M:", True
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "M:", "\\ServerB\data"

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi PHV many thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately this doesn't work.

When I run the script it 'disconnects' the current M drive (but still appears in network drive list) but then gives me the error

'The local device name has a remembered connection to another network resource'

If I run the code again (without doing anything else) it says

'This network connection does not exist.'

Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks
John

Typed, untested:

Set ObjNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
On Error Resume Next
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "M:", True, True
On Error Goto 0
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "M:", "\\ServerB\data"

Hope This Helps, PH.
