If this login script works correctly, copy each statement from this login script into the login
script that doesn't work correctly. This way, problems in login scripts can be dealt with by
elimination.
4.2 Turning Off the MAPROOT Function in
Windows 2000/XP
In Windows 2000/XP, all drive mappings created using NetWare
Because of this, programs cannot access directories above the directory that the drive is mapped to.
If necessary, you can turn off the default by adding SET MAPROOTOFF="1" as the first line in the
login script. This will globally force all Windows workstations using the login script to not map root
drives.
4.3 Limitations of Tree Command in Login
Scripts
When a TREE command is issued from a login script and attempts to map a drive to an eDirectory
tree using any login method, you will receive -1673 and 34970 errors. Do not use the Tree command
in login scripts while using a login method.
When a TREE command is issued from a login script, only the default login sequence defined by the
NMAS
server and user's default NMAS sequence configuration located in eDirectory is
TM
attempted. The NMAS tabbed page on the login dialog that initiated login to the first NDS tree does
not control which NMAS sequence is used when the TREE command causes authentication to
additional NDS trees.
If an NMAS method requires collecting a PIN or password from the user, the NMAS method user
interface appears during login script processing of the TREE command. If the initial transparent
login attempt by the TREE command fails, the username and password prompt that appears during
login script processing does not override the NMAS sequence for logging into the additional
eDirectory tree.
To log in to an additional NDS tree using a specific NMAS method, run loginw32.exe or right-
click the Red N > Novell Login and log in to the additional NDS tree while specifying the required
NMAS method on the NMAS page.
4.4 Lowercase Passwords Not Supported When
Using the Tree Command in Login Scripts
If the login script tree command includes a password for login, uppercase characters are required.
Currently, lowercase passwords are not supported and the login will prompt for username and
password.
