Renamed user fails to map to personal drive (3.31.0.0)

[Tony Vrolyk]

I created a user using a template and quickly realized I had misspelled her
name. I then renamed the object and her personal folder. Afer some time she
realized she was not mapping her personal drive and of course has to close
the login script window everytime because of the error. She is a new user
and didn't even know for a few days she needed a personal drive and that
she shouldn't need to close her script - until her trainer noticed the
problem.

I am not a Novell expert and I cannot find anything in her user object that
still refers to the old spelling. I states on the Identification tab that
her login name is the new, correct spelling but the login script keeps
trying to map based on the old spelling. Here is the offending line in the
script. It of course works for everyone else.

map root t:=servername_vol1:\users\%LOGIN_NAME

Any idea why this is and how to fix it? In the mean time I renamed her
personal folder to match the old spelling but I would like to get it
corrected.

Tony,

Did you fix the 'Home Directory' item in the Environment page of her
user object?

Yes I checked that as well and it is correct.

As I mentioned in the previous post I renamed the dir to match the
misspelling just to get her going for now, and for some reason it now maps
it with yet another spelling.

The login name correct spelling is ChristieS
The old misspelling is Christie
While the dir name is ChristieS the login fails because it attempts to map
to Christie
When I renamed the dir to Christie the script maps succesfully to Christi0
(yes, Christie[zero]?!?!)

Now I am really confused. The user is new and I am thinking of just killing
the user and recreating it. Would that likely take care of it? I assume that
would delete her GroupWise account and lose her email but she has little
mail and can print what she needs to keep.

Thanks again

If I remember correctly, %LOGIN_NAME will be truncated to 8 characters.
If you use %home_dir (I think that's right), it will use the home
directory specified in the user profile, and that can contain long names.

You got me going in the right direction. After a bitr more research here is
what finally worked

map root t:=\%Home_Directory

Thanks
