Question : delete a specific network mapped drive with a bat file.

I have a mapped drive M:\\xxx\xxx which needs to be deleted from all users on the network however, i have the M drive letter mapped to a different share on 2 different machines that I don't want deleted. Is there a way to have the bat files delete a specific mapping without upsetting the good mapping?

I want to lose m:\macfiles\macshare but not M:\\hciwhseprt\commondata (this is only specific on 4 machine and needs to stay because it's hard coded in a file.

I'm using this in a bat file in a domain login script via group policy

Answer : delete a specific network mapped drive with a bat file.

You can reverse the findstr logic to search for the "good" shares and if they exist do nothing, otherwise delete the M: mapping.
BTW. the syntax to delete the M: drive should be:
net use m: /d
without the path.

                       
             net use | findstr hciwhseprt
if errorlevel 1 net use m: \\hciwhseprt\commondata
