I have a snap server that we just purchased and I want to create a script to map to it. I want to map to it threw the workgroup in windows. I do not want to map to it threw a member server of my Novell server. I have tried the net use command and did not seem to work. Can this be done and does anyone know the correct command?
 
i dont undersatnd the question

snap server ?
member server of my novell server? - this is ms terms
throu workgroup for windows ?

net use does work to a netware server but i prefer map root

ie map root u: bigshinynetwareserver:data\finace\crap
 
What I do is put a call to a batch file (located in Sys:/public) in the login script like this:
Code:
#SYS:PUBLIC\whatever.bat
There is a file called map.exe in sys:/public, so calling your batch file map.bat is a really bad idea.

Then the batch file itself contains
Code:
@net use S: "\\cheesy_pos\whatever directory"
the quotes are only needed if there is a space in the path.
 
I have a similiar situation, and I did basically what LawnBoy has written, and it works fine. No problems.
