A Directory Map object represents a particular directory in a file system. Directory Map objects can point to directories that contain frequently used files such as applications.
If you create a Directory Map object to point to an application, users can access the application by mapping a drive to the Directory Map object.
You can create a Directory Map object using NetWare Administrator. For an example of how you could use Directory Map objects to reduce maintenance of login scripts, see Using Directory Map Objects.
In NetWare Administrator, select the Organization or Organizational Unit object where you want to create the Directory Map object. For information about moving around in the browser and selecting objects, choose Help from the menu bar. Choose Create from the Object menu. Choose Directory Map from the New Object dialog box. Choose OK. Enter the name for the Directory Map object in the space provided. In the Volume field, enter the name of the volume this Directory Map object will point to. You can type in the complete name of the Volume object, or you can choose the browser button to the right of the Volume field to browse for the Volume and directory path. If you did not use the browse button, enter the path of the directory this Directory Map object will point to. If the Directory Map object will point to the root of the specified volume, leave the Path field blank. (Optional) To define additional properties immediately after creating the Directory Map object, choose Define Additional Properties. (Optional) To create another Directory Map object immediately after this one, choose Create Another Directory Map. Choose Create. The Directory Map object is created If you chose Create Another Directory Map, the Create dialog appears. If you chose Define Additional Properties, the identification screen appears.Procedure
