My autoexnt.bat file looks like this: -------- c:\winnt\system32\net start workstation c:\winnt\system32\net use n: \10.3.1.10\dom3a c:\winnt\system32\net start "Lotus Domino Server (lotusdominodata)" --------
The first line starts up networking, and the second maps the drive. (The third starts up the Domino service). This way, you are sure that networking is up before you try to map the drive.
I'm sure this technique is somewhere in the documentation on how to run Domino on a NetApp, as Alfred Lim said.

Hi,
I have ever encounter this before, but later I found out that it is the network. It happen that the services autoexnt started before the network is up. Therefore it is not able to map. I will suggest you do a constant ping to the network of the server and check how long does the network need to be up. And also by using this autoexnt as service to map to filer, you will require to add an entry in the usermap.cfg,
eg. 10.10.20.19:"" => domserver
and domserver is in the /etc/passwd file. This will create a null user connection and making the particular mapped drive to be a remote disk. This is usually use for Lotus Notes as stated in the white paper.
