   If drive letter is in use	Specifies the action to take when the designated drive letter is already mapped. Override existing mapping – This option is selected by default. Replaces the existing drive mapping that uses the specified drive letter. Skip mapping – Skips drive mapping if the specified drive letter is already in use. Use next available letter – Maps the network path to the next available drive letter automatically, if the specified letter is already in use. When this option is selected, Undo at logoff and refresh during drive mapping refresh setting is automatically enabled, while the Run once option is disabled. Note: This option cannot be used with drive letter Z: as there are no subsequent letters available.
