Map a drive from a 2nd Tree

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.

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.
