Environment


Client for Open Enterprise Server (Novell Client) 2 SP4

Situation

When executing drive mapping statements in the login script, an error appears, such as:
The following drive mapping operation could not be completed. error code 8804

Resolution

Make the eDirectory object syntax drive map statement absolute by adding a leading dot. For example:

.OES-Server_DATA.Corp  (note the leading dot)
instead of 
OES-Server_DATA.Corp

Note that the current context can be set in the login script by using the "CONTEXT" command. See the Novell Login Scripts Guide.

Alternatively, change drive mapping syntax to the older "binary-style", such as:

OES-Server/Data:

Cause

The current context is set such that the drive mapping statements are incorrect relative to the current context.
