Acess to a Windows 2003 server from Novell

[edmac]

I'm very new to Windows servers, and need help on the following: Our main server is a Novell Netware 6 server; this is the server where our users login every day; however, we need to run a new application that resides on a new Windows 2003 server and I'm having problems in making this application accesible to our Novell users; right know I'm using @net use <drive>:\\servername\foldername to give them access to this new app, but it's now working fine. What is the best way to do something like this? I'd really appreciate any help i can get.
Thanks.
Ed.

so basically what yo want is in the login script your users to map to a 2003 server?

so firstly the pc's arent in a domain or anything?
the server is a standalone no ad on it?

are they all going to access the drive with their own password or is it going to be an insecure - yeah ha here we go all usres access with same pwd?

if going the insecure root try this
is the directory shared with everyone full and ntfs rights full for all as well
create user called bob or whatever
type net use h: \\horriblenastyvirus\app /user:bob letmein
letmein being his pwd
)if you get an error here - you need to post that)

securer way - rather than from login script put this in a nal so that they only have drive when running app

or best way - identity manager running so that they have sync'd pwd's and the directory has group everyone removed and secured at share and ntfs level with a apps group having neccessary rights

I have another question:
Yuu say "we need to run a new application that resides on a new Windows 2003 server". Does this mean you are using it as an application server? Or just that the files you need are located on the server. If you literally are trying to run an app on the server you should run terminal services and connect through the TS client.
If you just need a mapping go with Terry's solution.
