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
Login scripts and profiles work the same way for both DOS and
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:
