Question : Removing Map drives if exist before creating them using scripts.

I found this script which allows me to create a map drive when the user starts up his computer. Seems to map okay but, If we shutdown and try booting up again the computer still thinks the drive is connected. The drive letter show up in my computers with red x. I can click on it and it is still mapped to the location. Does someone add to my script or have a better one. I would like it to be able to remove the drive if its already mapped to something and then remap it to what I want mapped. I need complete and exact code to do this. I am not a script writer, very new at this. I would like to be able to cut and paste into script file with very minimal changes.   Heres what pulled from the internet.

Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork
Dim strDriveLetter, strRemotePath
strDriveLetter = "u:"
strRemotePath = "\\servername\
' Purpose of script to create a network object. (objNetwork)
' Then to apply the MapNetworkDrive method.  Result u: drive
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath
WScript.Quit

' End of Example VBScript.

Answer : Removing Map drives if exist before creating them using scripts.

Have a look at this script for some pointers. He's doing something similar but is checking for the drive being mapped first. If it's mapped he unmaps it and then remaps it again.

Next

If AlreadyConnected = True then
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive DriveLetter1
objShell.PopUp "Drive " & DriveLetter1 & " disconnected."

Else

objShell.PopUp "Drive " & DriveLetter1 & " no initial connection"

End if

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive DriveLetter1, RemotePath1
objShell.PopUp "Drive " & DriveLetter1 & " connected successfully."

WScript.Quit
