network drive path to UNC path

Hi!
How can I change(replace) may network drive path to UNC using maxscript ?

ex:
T:/work/model_A/texture
T:/work/model_B/texture
T:/work/render

change to

//PC01/work/model_A/texture
//PC01/work/model_B/texture
//PC01/work/render

I just want to change "T:" to "//PC01",
and these are the list of I like to change.

map path
Render Output path
Render Elements path
XRef Objects path

Im using max2012

thank you

can tell whether this works in Max2012
but lets hope its helpful anyway.

-- converting path to UNC
pathConfig.convertPathToUnc "path_string"
 
-- maps path
for m in (getClassInstances bitmapTexture) do
m.fileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc m.fileName
 
-- set Render Output path
rendOutputFilename = "path_string"
 
-- set Render Elements path
re = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
for n = 0 to (re.NumRenderElements() - 1) do
(
	el = re.GetRenderElement n
	fl = re.GetRenderElementFileName n
 
	el.bitmap.fileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc fl
	--or...
	re.SetRenderElementFilename n (pathConfig.convertPathToUnc fl)
)
 
-- XRef Objects path
for obj in objects where IsKindOf obj XRefObject do
(
	obj.proxyFileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc obj.proxyFileName
	obj.fileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc obj.fileName
	updateXRef obj
)

I could change bitmaps using

I could change bitmaps using script below,
but I have no idea how to write "Render Output path""RenderElements path"and"XRef Objects path" in maxscript.

for m in (getClassInstances bitmapTexture) do (
drive = toLower (subString m.filename 1 2)
if (drive == "T:") then ( m.filename = "\\\PC01" + subString m.filename 3 -1 )
)
