Environment
Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows
Situation
During the execution of the login script, a map drive statement using the FQN of the resource fails with the error:
LOGIN-LGNWNT32-400: A network drive cannot be mapped to a drive that is designated as a local drive.
Resolution
Resolution 1)
Ensure that the map statement contains the correct syntax, including a leading dot, such as:
MAP I:=.SERVER_SYS.NOVELL
Resolution 2)
Run NDS Repair on the eDirectory server
Cause
Cause 1)
Incorrect syntax. When mapping a drive using a FQN, a leading dot is required.
Cause 2)
eDirectory is not providing the server address required for the Client to complete the drive mapping.
