I've made a recent change to a DNS Server, Everything works fine but
mapped drives, ping targets the new server, but drives still map to the
old server. Maped drives are the only problem. Any ideas?

did you change an IP to the same hostname?

You may need to recreate map drives, or at least flush your dns.

Hi

I thought mapped drives and such shares use NETBIOS name resolution not DNS
so modifying DNS config would not fix the mapped drives issue

Could be wrong of course
