How do I echo a “y” choice in this bat file?
.bat file, Domain Controller, ECHO, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller, Windows XP, Windows XP SP3
I have the following bat file. I did not create it, but got it off of the MS scripting site.
We are going to migrate data from an old nt server to a new server. The company has been using this server for about 10 years and everybody has one or more drives mapped to it.
This file re-maps the users current drives to the new server correctly.
However in testing it out, on some users, for some reason the file will stop and because of "open files or incomplete searches pending" it will ask for a y/n input form the users.
Is there anyone who can see where I should put the echo y| in the file so it will just disconnect/re-map that drive and continue running?
we have a vbs script that will re-direct all the shortcuts and links to the new path, but this has to run first.

Answer Wiki:
Your script cleaned up a bit with force disconnect on NET USE.
<pre>@echo off
ECHO Starting script
set OldName=\old_server
set NewName=\new_server
net use | findst /i "%OldName%" > nul
If "%ErrorLevel%"=="0" GOTO :DONE
for /F "tokens=2-3" %%a in ('net use ^| find ""') do call :Sub %%a %%b
goto :DONE
:Sub
set DriveLetter=%1
if %DriveLetter:~1,1%==: goto :Letter
:NoLetter
set ShareName=%1
set ShareName=%%ShareName:%OldName%=%NewName%%%
net use %1 /d /yes
net use %ShareName%
goto :eof
:Letter
set ShareName=%2
set ShareName=%%ShareName:%OldName%=%NewName%%%
@echo on
net use %DriveLetter% /d /yes
net use %DriveLetter% %ShareName%
@echo off
goto :eof
:DONE
ECHO Completed script

Thank you.
Sorry for not seeing it sooner, this project got pushed over to the side. But now it’s back.
I’ll give it a go.
