We have just switched out our old server which was running 3.12 for a
brand new, very wonderful server
 running 4.11, Intranetware. 

The problem we are facing is related to our having changed the name of
the new server. Our Windows 95
 clients are suffering various problems related to the old UNC paths
which still exist in the Windows Registry.

We would love to find a command line utility that we could run in a
batch file from the container login script 
which would find and replace all instances of the old server name with
the new server name. And all without
 user intervention. We have been unable to find such a utility however.
As an alternative, I wonder if either
 Novell's RegEdit utility or another such Windows GUI based utility
could be run with NAL. We would need 
some way to pass it some parameters, specifically which values to find
and replace, as well as perhaps
 limiting which HKEYs it addressed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We will be using ZenWorks 2.0.

Thanks in advance,
