Need to disconnect persistent drives

[surfz]

I work in a mixed MS NT 4.0 and W2K network and my PC crashed last night, when I set up I made a new password which conflicts with persistent mapped drives on servers that I connect to for file replication, and keeps locking me out. I fixed it by resorting to using my old password.

Is there a way to find all the servers on my network that have my persistent mapped drives and disconnect them so that I can change my password without credential conflicts?

I guess I must have posted this in the wrong section?

If a moderator should happen to see this post and the one before it, please delete these.

I still haven't found a tool that can accomodate this situation.

Try modifying the following key:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkPersistent Connections]
Value Name: SaveConnections
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: no

Thanks for the response fortunat!

The response you gave was a good one. Unfortunately I can't use this solution because of the situation I'm in...

Looking back on the first post I made, I should have explained my situation a little better.

I work in a large network and I often map as many drives as I have for file replication. Either from my workstation (if its just some small files) or servers everywhere (when they're large files). Then I pull the info from the source servers through mapped drives.

And that's what caused the problem, I have persistent drives on servers so that when I log on they connect to source servers.

The servers, files and directories are everywhere. The files I replicate don't always go in the same directories on all servers. Also, because of slow links I usually keep persistent drives to servers that are geogrphically closer, that way when I log on they are automatically connected to the new source servers that just got the new files.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I looked everywhere for a way to log off these persitent drives on "All" the machines, but all the answers point to only one machine beit a server or a workstation.

I usually do a "net use *: /d" to disconnect the persistent drives on my PC after I'm done, I was hoping there was a way to send out a batch file to all the servers on the network without having to log onto them.

I've asked people this question and no one that I've talked to know of such a script!

You are correct, that's slightly different and unfortunately I don't have any nuggets of info to help you.

I guess you try poking around
