Hello

We are facing a bit boring problem

We are on the way to upgrade our PDC from 2.2.8 to 3.2.11
as we do not want to reconfigure the PDC IP address on several
hundreds of windows XP clients we have chosen to keep the same
IP address for the new PDC.

The problem is windows clients does not update the name of network
drives and keep the old names even connected to the new PDC server
and it's new shares ...

I suspect there are some caching mechanisms that are not completely
cleaned (!!!) by windows.


Any infos on "how to clean widows caches" are welcome.

Thanks
