It is a fairly easy process that can save you a ton of work in the long run. This should give you a good idea of how Drive Mapping with GPO works. Therefore you would need to use either the Remove Action to remove the old share and create a completely new share, or, you could use the Replace Action until all the Computers are updated. What the Update Action doesn’t do is, for example, if you change the location of the share or its name. ![]() With the Update Action that happens automatically.

If it was done manually or via script you can just create a new GPO and go to User settings\Preferences\Windows settings\Drive assignments\ add a new assignment with the action set to Remove and select the drive letter you want. So actions are where you need to pay the most attention. If it was GPO you can just edit it and change the action to Remove.
