Hi
is there anyway to change the timeout on drive mapping failures.

we are migrating from netware and user.kix scripts are being used to map drives to legacy netware servers. As the data is moved onto windows shares the original drive mappings to the netware volumes is allowed to fail through removed trustee rights. We have a drive mapping executable tool which then takes care of the drive mapping thus making the use of user.kix scripts redundant.

problem is the use command takes a long time to decide it cant map the drive anymore and effectivly hangs the script for a few minutes.

Any ideas much appreciated

regards

Rod

So if you're using a different method to map the drives why do you still have the USE commands in the KiX script? Why not comment them out or remove them altogether?

To answer your question, NO. The default timeout cannot be changed.

because we do not know which drive mappings are still in use - the users access a variable number of directories on each volume, it is only when all the data which they have rights to is migrated that the drive fails - we would need to check the access rights for each user across all volumes and cross reference that to what data has been migrated.

better just to let the drive mapping fail - then when all the migration is complete remove the user.kix script

we have written a drive mapping tool run from the main login script which maps drives based on AD group membership - a unc path is entered in the notes field of the group and the next available drive letter is used for that mapping - there is a button on the tool which allows the users to re-map this drive letter if necessary.
