D.2 Mapping a Drive to a Samba Share on an OES Server

To map a drive to a Samba share on an OES server:

  1. On the Windows server, right-click on the Windows taskbar, and then click Micro Focus Map Network Drive.

  2. Select the drive letter to map to the NCP volume on the OES server.

  3. Specify the network path to the NCP volume in the following format:

    \\linux_hostname\ncp_volume

    1. Replace linux_hostname with the hostname of the OES server.

    2. Replace ncp_volume with the name of the NCP volume that you just created.

  4. For the network user name, specify the fully qualified Samba user name for eDirectory, such as gwclient.users.novell.

  5. Click Map.

  6. Click OK.

    The mapped drive to the OES server opens in Windows Explorer and can now be accessed from Windows.

  7. Return to Step 4 in Installing the GroupWise Client.
