No Responses - Netware drive mapping problem

[tduplantis]

Am I to believe that nobody has input on this!!!! Surely, there is someone out there that may have an idea. This is a previous post, about 3 weeks ago.

____________________________________________________________


I'm running TS 4.0 sp6a, and Metaframe 1.8 sp2. We have a Netware 3.12 file server that only about 5 people that use citrix connect to. For some reason, their netware drives are not being mapped properly (nwgs is loaded and login scripts are checked). If I try to manually map a drive, I see the netware drive mappings in the drop down menu as if they were once there. I can usually map them fine, but after a certain amount of time it begins asking them for a username and password. No username or password works here. If I try to remap the drive, it still asks me for a username and password. If I map it to another drive, ie G: instead of F: (to the same path), it WILL NOT ask me for a username and password. Also, sometimes there is a drive mapping to lets say, F: RPC_GROUP\SYS, but when I click on it, it is their local drive!! I did some searching on Citrix's forum, but everything that I found with similar problems to this had no responses. Please respond here!

First initial drives for both client drives and netware drives are set in the registry too.

Hi Duplantis,

You may consider using the NET USE command, supposed you have the username/password at the NW3 and WTSVR the same.
(Windows NT will try to connect to the resource using the NT username/Password combination in the backgroud).

Two way's to accomplish this:
1) Via the "map network drive" button in the Explorer and mark the checkbox "reconnect at logon"
2) (IMHO preferred) do the map commando in the logon script, like .\WTSRV\SYSTEM32\USRLOGON.CMD if it's for everyone.
Then add the line MAP G: \\server\volume\path

Whenever the connection is lost Windows will reconnect in the background without prompting for username/password.

Good luck

If you are logging onto the desktop you can create a batch file and schedule it to be run at login or just put it in the Start Up. I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but this is one way.

netuse.bat
@echo off
net use G: /d
net use G: \\"Server"\"Share" "Password" /user:"Username"
