Hi all,
First of all please excuse me for my poor
english.Now, I have 2 file servers, the old one
"filesever01" and the new one "fileserver02". I
have network drive named "common", UNC is
"\\fileserver01\common\" and all computers in
my domain has it as drive Z:\. I want to trasfer
all files in "common" to "fileserver02" but
without going to each computer and map the
network drive to new location
"\\fileserver02\common" as drive Z:\. Can
anyone tell me the best way to do this
process. Or maybe i should email them with a
link or a script or something to make it easier
for me. Please help.Thanks,

If this was an active directory environment I would have engaged DFS [distributed file system]. You would have created the sharename "common" as an alias. This means you would only have to change the properties of the alias as in server2 instead of server1 and you would be done. The transfer would be seemless.
You should not need to go to every computer to map a drive. You would do this via the server logon script. But it appears this network is peer to peer only not client server which would allow you to have logon scripts.
You can easily send everyone a batch file via email to remap z: to the new server.
@echo off
net use z: \\fileserver01\common\ /delete
net use z: \\fileserver02\common\ /persistent:yes
