Cannot Run External Programs from NetWare Login Script

ID: Q132665

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the Microsoft Client For NetWare Networks component, the following login script fails to work correctly:


   map n:=sys:\public
   #n:syscon

This problem occurs for any such drive mapping in a login script. The Microsoft Login Script Processor for NetWare (NWLSPROC) returns an error message stating that the external program cannot be found.

CAUSE

The script processor does not handle lowercase drive letters correctly in the external program command ("#").

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, change the driver letter after the number sign (#) to an uppercase letter.
