Customizing the User Environment

If the user whose login script this line appears in is also located in the

SALES_LA.ACME_US context, the MAP command does not have to

specify the Directory Map object’s complete name. Instead, the line would

MAP S2:=APPL

For more information about using Directory Map objects, see “Loading

Operating Systems and Applications onto the Network” in chapter 3.

Examples

• To map the first search drive to the SYS:PUBLIC directory (which contains the

NetWare utilities for DOS and Windows workstations) add the following line to

the login script:

MAP S1:=SYS:PUBLIC

The second search drive should be mapped to the DOS directory if users run

DOS from the network.

• If your network has more than one DOS directory, use variables to indicate the

directory path. These variables are replaced by the correct information from the

workstation software when each user logs in.

To use variables for the DOS directory path, enter the following command in the

MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC\%MACHINE\%OS\%OS_VERSION

• If all users have the same types of computers and are using the same version of

DOS, you probably have only one DOS directory. In this case, add a line similar

to the following, substituting the correct directory names:

MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC\IBM_PC\MSDOS\50

You can also create a Directory Map object that points to the DOS directory,

then map the search drive to the Directory Map object.

For more information about creating DOS directories, see “Loading Operating

Systems and Applications onto the Network” in chapter 3.

• To map the next available search drive to the SYS:APPL\WORDPROC

directory, add the following line to the login script:

MAP S16:=SYS:APPL\WORDPROC

If you have mapped a Directory Map object to this directory, you can substitute

the Directory Map object’s name for the directory path.
