MAP.EXE
The MAP.EXE utility might function improperly if the computers DOS
environment size is too small. If you encounter problems while running
MAP.EXE, increase the DOS environment size by adding or editing the
SHELL= line in the WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT file. For example:
SHELL=%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\COMMAND.COM /E:2048
MAP.EXE was not designed as a Windows NT/2000/XP executable and,
therefore, does not recognize drives mapped to NT servers as network drives.
Consequently, MAP will not list NT network drives. The Windows NT NET
USE command can be used to correctly connect and list network drives for
both NetWare and NT servers.
MAP.EXE Might Fail When Mapping a Drive to a Novell eDirectory Object on Windows NT
MAP.EXE is not IP-aware for eDirectory objects. As a result, MAP.EXE
might fail if you try to use it to map a drive to an eDirectory object—for
example, with a command like the following:
MAP N .mydir.organization.company
The failure will result in a message such as the following:
MAP-4.13-195: Directory [N .mydir.organization.company cannot
be located
This error can be avoided by using one of the following solutions:
Use MAP N SERVER\VOL:\DIRECTORY instead of MAP N
.mydir.organization.company.
Unbind IP from the server that the eDirectory object points to.
Configure the Protocol Preferences of Novell Client property page to use
IPX only.
Drive Mappings Automatically Root Mapped
In Windows NT/2000, all drive mappings made using the NetWare Login are
root mapped. Because of this, programs cannot access directories above the
directory that the drive is mapped to. This feature affects only MAP
commands performed in a login script. Once Windows NT has been started,
NT allows you to map only to the root.
