MAP

Purpose

Use at a workstation to

View drive mappings

Create or change network or search drive mappings

Map a drive to a fake root directory (for applications that must use a root directory)

Syntax

MAP [P | NP] [option ...] drive:= [drive : | path ] [/? | /VER]

Parameter	Use to
(no parameter)	View drive mappings.
P	Map to a physical volume. Must be listed first or second.
NP	Overwrite local or search drives without being prompted. Must be listed first or second.
option	Replace option with any available option. See MAP Options.
drive :	Specify the drive you want to change.
path	Specify the path you want to map a drive to. To map to a physical volume on a server that is not your default server, specify the entire path (including server, volume, and directory name). For example, MACBETH/SYS:ACCOUNTS\PAY (server/volume:directory\subdirectory)
/?	View online help. All other parameters are ignored when /? is used.
/VER	View the version number of the utility and the files it uses to execute. All other parameters are ignored when /VER is used.

Using MAP

If you don't include drive mappings in your login script, they will have to be manually recreated each time the user logs in. (See Creating Login Scripts in Supervising the Network .)

You can have up to 26 mappings, including local drives.

Search drive mappings begin with the letter Z and continue backward through the alphabet.

To map a search drive, use S and a number. (See MAP Options. )

If you don't want to overwrite existing search drives, use the INS option.

To map to the next available search drive, use S16:=

MAP Options

Option	Use to
P	Map to a physical volume. Must be listed first or second.
Np	Overwrite local or search drives without being prompted. Must be listed first or second.
C	Change a regular drive to a search drive, or a search drive to a regular drive.
DEL	Delete a drive mapping.
INS	Insert a search drive mapping without replacing an existing mapping.
N	Map the next available drive to the specified path.
ROOT	Map a drive to a fake root directory for applications that require rights in a root directory.
W	Do not change master environment.

Examples

To view mappings, type

MAP

To change Y: from a regular NetWare drive to a search drive, type

MAP C Y:

To delete the mapping for drive G:, type

MAP DEL G:

To map drive F: to the DOSGAMES volume of the GAMES directory as a fake root, type

MAP ROOT F:=GAMES\DOSGAMES:

To map the last possible search drive to IZARD (server) SYS (volume) PUBLIC (directory), type

MAP S16:=IZARD/SYS:PUBLIC

To map the next available drive to Z:\PUBLIC\DOS\APP from Z:\PUBLIC, type

MAP N DOS\APP

To map the next available drive to BRUTUS/SYS:ACCT\ OLD, type

MAP N BRUTUS/SYS:ACCT\OLD
