AS/U and W2K share mapping...

[Coolmar]

We have some shares setup on our HPUX systems via AS/U. The problem we are experiencing is that the shares are mapped automatically through Windows login scripts. Sometimes, the drive letter will map correctly to the share and the comment will be Sharename on Serverxyz (x:)...which is perfect, but once in a while it just says "Network Drive (X:)". It is in fact, mapped to the right place and the files are there but the comment is incorrect and therefore it is very hard to tell (as we have alot of shares) which is which. I am not sure if there is a share parameter that I should add to force it to resove the share name or would it be a Windows thing?

Thanks!

The only thing in samba would be in the global section:

server string

Default: server string = Samba %v

You could set it to something else...

As far as your issue - I think it has more to do with WINS (on the Windows side)...

Are you using ADS or DOMAIN for security?

You may be able to change the definition of the server on the Windows side from Server manager or ADS...

THanks for the response Geoff but this server is not using Samba. The servers using Samba are fine. The problems are on the AS/U server and the shares are setup with "net share" and lanman crap. I really don't know AS/U and this was setup here before my time, so maybe there is a config file or something.

Most of the configurable parameters can be found from /etc/opt/, /opt/asu and /var/opt/asu directories. I think this is a network issue resolving the server name. Check your WINS and DNS settings from Windows servers. Also, make sure you have the right WINS and DNS entries in /etc/opt/lmu/netbios/nbconfig file. If you want change this file, make a copy of the original first. You need to stop and start the ASU services if you make any changes.

Oh - sorry....AS/U - don't know it....looks like it was used long ago.....

Found a couple of docs:
