Setting Up and Managing Network Drives

Using NetWare Utilities to Set Up and Manage Drive Mappings

Instead, you would type

MAP S2:=APPL <Enter>

NOTE: It is best to use Map objects in your current context. Don’t use Distinguished Names

that point to other contexts. If your map is in another context, you should create an

alias that points to the real Directory Map object. See “Alias object” in Concepts for

more information.

See Chapter 3, “Creating Login Script,” in Supervising the Network for

more information about Directory Map objects.

Using Login Scripts or Profiles to Make Drive Mappings Permanent

You can use login scripts or proﬁles to automatically set up drive mappings

when you log in to the network. Login scripts and proﬁles are similar to

conﬁgurable batch ﬁles and are executed by the LOGIN utility.

You can use login scripts and proﬁles to

• Map drives and search drives to directories

• Display messages

• Set environment variables

• Execute programs or menus

MS Windows workstations. However, you must run a login script or proﬁle

before loading MS Windows. You cannot run them from an MS Windows

session or DOS box.

See the following references for more information about login scripts and

proﬁles:
