[Samba] windows /bat script question

[Kaplan, Marc]

This is definitely a kludgy way of doing it, but if I had that problem
and wanted to solve it quickly, I would put a file named THISISSERVER1
on \\server1\projects\. This way you can do an "if exist
p:\THISISSERVER1" test. This is ugly, but it will work.
