Guest indytoatl Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Is it possible in any way shape, form or fashion to map a network share without using drive letters? Our company merged with another company and we use some of the same drive letters for our department shares. Without completely changing everyone's environment, can this be done? We looked at Windows Mount Points but the directories had to be empty. Domain = Win2003 FileServers = Win2003

Using UNC paths means you can't easily move data around on your network without the users' knowing. I like drive letters.
