   Hi All,   
      
   I have a script to mount drives of clients to fetch some data and save   
   the results to a file and an sqlite3 database. I'm using net use to map   
   the drives and once the script is completed, the I unmount all mounted   
   drives on the server. The script reads the IPs of the clients in a   
   separate text file and mounts the drives.   
      
   The (untested) problem is that windows maps drives by letters. If I have   
   a need to mount more than 26 drives, I don't know what would happen. I'm   
   assuming, errors would be generated (but unseen) indicating there's no   
   more drive letters left.   
      
   Right now the workaround is fairly easy: make sure you don't try to get   
   data from more than 26 clients at once. Is there a more elegant solution?   
   Can my IP list have more than 26, but once it reaches that limit, I can   
   set a timeout, unmap and move down the list?   
      
   Alternatively, maybe I can have a few text files and it reads one at a   
   time.   
      
   Thanks for any input.
