I have a particular problem that requires a unique solution. One of my users has his own computer in his office. He also fills in and uses a general employee computer. His login script includes a home drive mapping as well as the departmental mapping. When he uses his computer he needs to have all the mappings. When he uses the general employee computer the home drive mapping cannot be allowed to process but he must have all of the other departmental mappings. What I need is the variable in NetWare that will allow me to do the following:

IF <MACHINE_NAME> = FRONTOFFICE THEN BEGIN
MAP DEL H:
END

What variable for <Machine_Name> will read the Windows DNS name on a workstation? Is there a way to see the machine name from a NetWare script?

Yes, you can do exactly this.
Look up the login script help in either ConsoleOne or NWADMIN32, they will tell you what variable needs to be used.

Pretty sure it's something like MACHINE_NAME or similar. The help files will tell you.
