Novell Netware Login Script SET WPC-/U-XXX |

Problem
Solutions: A customer could not put the SET WPC=/U-XXX command in my Novell Login Script without getting the error message "Unrecognizable identifier or text string in SET command" when rebooting the machine. To avoid the error enter the following command to the login script: DOS SET WPC="/U-XXX" where XXX represents the users initials. The important part is to use the DOS SET command rather than just SET, and to enclose the variable in quotation marks. In this case the variable is /U-XXX. For more information on using the DOS SET command in the login script, check Folio under the Novell NETWARE infobase. Customers will want to be aware that if they use the command %LOGIN_NAME in the DOS SET command they will only get the first three characters of the users login name. For example the login names TOM, TOMJ and TOMMY will all give the three initials TOM. This would cause a great deal of trouble if two or more users with the same initials try to execute a WPCorp product at the same time. Some other useful information is to use DOS SET WP="/U-%STATION" in the login script. This assigns the Connection number to the user's three initials. This is especially useful if everyone logs on to the network as the same user (such as GUEST). In the GUEST case, everyone would be assigned "GUE" as their WP ID under the %LOGIN_NAME method. But with the %STATION method each user would be assigned a different number. This is useful for labs that have a lot of users, and the Supervisor wants everyone to have similar setups but doesn't want the users to enter in their three initials. Note: Some supervisors don't like the users to enter in their initials because it fills up the network drives with many .SET and temporary files. |
