Indirect Directory Access
LockedWe wish to convert a fairly large NetWare 4.1 server to several W2K servers. Most of the data is in a single directory, “Works”. Within this directory are multiple subdirectories named by serial number: i.e. 1111, 1112, 1113, etc.
For the conversion we would like to setup indirect access to the Work directories through an indexed file that would be indexed by the folder name (1111). This file would then contain the UNC of the folder (\\NETWARE1\Works\1111). We could then move folders at ourconvenience from server to server and update the index file to enable user access. (Change the above UNC to \\W2KA\Works\1111 or \\W2KB\Works\1111). Processors used on files contained within these folders are AutoCAD, MicroStation, MS Word, MS Excel, Adobe PhotoShop, etc. (Virtually any Windows application.) Are there any packages that provide for managed indirect directory access as defined here?
