SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS client on a Novell Diskless workstation, the following error message might be displayed when you attempt to start the client:
The MS Exchange directory service could not be opened. A network error has occurred. Quit and Restart MS Exchange.

CAUSE

This error occurs because the workstation does not have a C:\ drive.
