Drive to Be Mapped

This dialog box lets you define a drive you want Novell^® Application Launcher^TM to map before running the application. This functionality works only if the workstation has the Novell Client^TM installed.

Root
Check this option to treat the path as the root of the drive.

Option
Select the type of drive to map. The available types are:

• DRIVE: Select this option to map to a drive letter (A through Z).
• S1: Select this option to assign the drive to the first available search drive.
• S16: Select this option to assign the drive to the last search drive.

Starting with ZENworks for Desktops 4.x, selecting the S1 or S16 option does not affect the system's global path. Only applications started by this NAL process will use this search path; applications external to the NAL process cannot use this search path.

Drive
Assign a drive letter. The options are drives A through Z, or the next available drive.

Path
Type, or browse and select, the path you want mapped to the selected drive. If you type the path, use the following syntax:

server\volume:path
\\server\volume\path
volume_object_name:path
directory_map_object_name:path

You can also use a macro in this field.

Map If Drive Mapping Doesn't Exist or Same As Existing (Default)
Select this option if you want Application Launcher to map the drive if 1) it doesn't exist already or 2) it is the same as an existing drive mapping.

Overwrite Any Existing Drive Mapping
Select this option to if you want Application Launcher to replace any mapping that uses the requested drive letter. For example, if S: is mapped to \\server1\sys\public and you've specified the new S: drive mapping as \\server1\apps\timecard, the end result is that drive S: is mapped to \\server1\apps\timecard.

To identify this option in the Drives to Be Mapped list, the word FORCE is added to the mapping information.

Use the Existing Drive Mapping If Already Mapped
Select this option to use the existing drive mapping even if it is not the same as the path requested. For example, if S: is mapped to \\server1\sys\public and you've specified the new S: drive mapping as \\server1\apps\timecard, the end result is that drive S: is still mapped to \\server1\sys\public.

To identify this option in the Drives to Be Mapped list, the word REUSE is added to the mapping information.
