Referencing and Using Leaf Objects
Server-Related Leaf Objects
Server-Related Leaf Objects
This section lists the available leaf objects that are related to NetWare
servers and volumes, explains what each is used for, and indicates when to
use each.
Table C-2 Server-Related Leaf Object Name, Function, and Usage
Leaf Object Function Usage Situation
Directory Map Represents a particular directory
in the file system. Directory Map
objects can be especially useful
in login scripts by pointing to
directories that contain
applications or other frequently
used files.
You want to avoid making changes to
many login scripts when the location
of applications changes. Instead, you
change only the Directory Map object.
For example, you have a directory that
contains DOS 5.0. You could map a
search drive to that directory in any
login scripts you create.
But if you later upgrade to DOS 6.0
and rename the directory, you would
have to change the mapping in every
login script where that search mapping
appears.
By using a Directory Map object
instead, you would need to change the
information in only that one object.
NCP Server Represents a server running
NetWare on your network.
In the NetWare Server object’s
properties, you can store
information about the server—
such as its physical location and
what services it provides.
In addition, the NetWare Server
object affects the network in that
it is referred to by several other
objects.
Automatically created during server
installation. It must exist for a server’s
file systems and volumes to be
accessible.
If you have a bindery-based server,
create this object to be able to access
that server’s volumes. When you
create this object for a bindery-based
server, that server must be running.
