A disconnected drive to a server PC that contains System Five data will prompt the user to “Link a new workstation” when attempting to login to System Five from a client. If you ever experience drive disconnects when booting up a workstation PC, the following login script will help fix the problem:
@ECHO OFF CLS ECHO Logging onto network… please wait… ECHO.
:NOTREADY
REM Check that the workstation service has finished loading and is ready.
REM Loop until the service is ready.
NET STATISTICS WORKSTATION |FIND /I “completed successfully”>NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NOTREADY
:CANPING
REM Check that we can ping the server.
REM Exit if no reply is received.
PING SERVER2003 |FIND /I “reply from”>NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO END
:ATTACH
NET USE W: \\SERVER2003\WINDWARD windward /USER:windward /PERSISTENT:NO
:END
Save the above text in a file called login.bat and place it in the c:\windows folder on each PC. Then add it to the startup folder on the workstation so that it is executed when the PC boots up.
