Instead of asking about use of "QNTC", maybe ask: "Do you have any >mapped< drives ?"

Subject: Understand and removal of QNTC definitions

On a large system we have a /QNTC with many hundreds of links.
At one point, a decade ago, someone fooled around with using /QNTC to transfer data with Win servers and desktops. That was halted long ago, but all these links exist.
Operations would like to delete them all.
I will admit to not truly understanding /QNTC and after considerable reading, I can't say I understand it any more.

In OPS Nav, under File Shares - there are none for /QNTC (but there are
a few for / (ROOT) and we are working towards changing that..

We do have several products that interface with both i and Win servers, but we believe this is not via QNTC - we asked and they responded with ... what is QNTC? (one product still uses QDLS..)

So can I verify if any links are in use? in Ops Nav, right click a link, and properties seems to do something that causes it to show as active or in use (it has a last use of date time when I asked to show properties...

If I remove a link in QNTC (either OPS Nav or WRKLNK) I assume I'm only removing a "definition" to that Win PC or server... is that a true statement?

Assuming no one sets up each one of these links, how do they automatically get created?
