Hi all,

Is it possible to map a server's folder via script into a VPN client
computer (e.g. automatically map "data" folder to drive "H" to a VPN client
computer upon log-on to the VPN server).

Thanks in advance,

Garry

Garry,

Yes, do not see why it wouldn't be possible. The hurdle will be to ensure that the VPN client
uses the same IP so that the mapping can take place. You could use a post connect action in
CMAK (call a script file) that will initiate the server script file that would do the mapping.
Otherwise the script wold need ot be run once the VPN client made a connection and
registered with DNS if it is getting a different IP in subsequent VPN connections.

HTH,
Gary
