SUMMARY

Using the MAP command or Session utility may produce unexpected results from a Windows NT client running Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) or Gateway Services for Netware (GSNW).

MORE INFORMATION

Although the MAP command is listed as a supported utility in the Services for NetWare Networks guide, not all features of this command function as expected from a Windows NT client.

The MAP command does not do normal drive mapping. For example, MAP T:=SYS:\PUBLIC should map drive T to the PUBLIC directory. However, it maps T: to the root of the SYS volume. However, the MAP ROOT command will produce correct results. For example, MAP ROOT T:=SYS:\PUBLIC correctly maps T: to SYS:\PUBLIC.

Using the Session utility will produce similar results. When you map a drive in Session you get the following prompt: 

   Do you want to map root this drive?
Even if you answer no, it will still MAP ROOT the drive.
