USB Drive / Key's drive letter assignment
Posted by COHDNP on February 9th, 2005


I apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong newsgroup but I
cannot seem to find the appropriate one for this question. I am trying to
figure out a way I can create a script that will change the default drive
letter a USB drive / key device grabs when it is initially inserted. We have
over 1500 machines and cannot go to each one of them for each USB device and
manually assign a letter. If we leave windows to it's own "devices" it will
assign a letter to the USB drive that is already mapped to a network
resource. Unfortunately in our environment it is not possible to change the
network drive mappings. I have done some research on this and haven't come up
with anything that isn't a very dirty fix to this problem. If anyone has any
insight or solution it would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you
COHDNP...

I'm having the same issue.... very painful to work with is there a Reg Hack
that anyone can provide to "force" a drive spec?
