Hi

We use NW4.11 with NT4 clients. Reasently we setup new servers with NW6 and a new tree. The users are allready mirrored on NW4.11 and NW6.
Now I would like, in the Nw4.11 loginscript to map a directory from the new tree.

MAP ROOT J:=SERVER1/VOL1:USERNAME\DIRECTORY

This would work, when the user specifies the new context (in the Context field is the old context written)and his password.
I would prefer, to do this authentification automatically or at least to set the right context allready.

has anybady an Idea for my problem?
Thanks Barny

In your login script, you can use the TREE command to attach to a different tree. You should be running Novell Client 4.83. It may work on older clients, but I'm not sure how old. Also, if you have trouble mapping to SERVER/VOL:\DIR, then try mapping to the NDS volume object:

TREE My_Other_Tree
MAP root h: = .SERVER_VOL.Container.Org:$LOGIN_NAME

You can use the TREE command as many times as you want in your login script to change which tree your MAP commands apply to.

Give it a try...

Thanks for the hint Tim Hansen, it works!
I put the command:

TREE NEW_TREE_NAME/ .%Login_Name.USERCONTEXT

Into my login script and the user was authentificated on the new tree, because I had the password of my users on both trees syncronized.
Well! I'm able to map the dirves on the new tree.
