script to change drive letter - 1/20/2006 4:27:34 AM

right now, we are having to manually change the dvd drive letter from d to z on every computer we build. im trying to add a little vscript file into the batch file so it automatically will change the drive letter.

so far, i was able to find this:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colVolumes = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Volume Where Name = 'D:\\'")

for each objVolume in colVolumes
objVolume.DriveLetter = "Z:"
objVolume.Put_
Next

and, i tested this on a machine that is not on our domain and has windows server 2003, and it works flawlessly. however, when i try to run this on computers that are newly imaged, this script does not work. i keep getting an error saying:

script: drive.vbs
line: 8
char: 1
error: 0x80041010
code: 80041010
source: (null)

does anyone know why this wont work? im thinking it has something to do with sysprep or maybe another function of an enterprise software, since it works on my personal computer that is not on the domain.

any help will be appreciated.

We use diskpart.exe to do this.

I know that a lot of people rely on WMI for a lot of things, but I have always foudn it to be slow and unreliable.
