In Netware you can do a MAP INS in the login script to path the client to a
specific directory on the server to pick up files thru PATH command. How do
you accomplish the same result with login script on a Windows Server.

Comments please,

MAP INS inserts a search drive mapping without replacing an existing
mapping.

Path settings are cumulative. To be on the safe side, you can add your path
to the existed path as "path=%path%;{yourpath}" in the login script. Beware
of duplicate executives in the different directories included into path.
The maximum length of the combined system and user-defined path variables is
1,023 characters. This does not includes the "path=" portion of either.
The system path is limited to the maximum path length of 1,023 characters.
The user-defined path is limited to maximum 511 characters, but is limited
to 1,023 minus the system path.
It is possible that the system path can use the total allocated environment
space, causing the user-defined path to get truncated or not show up at all.
 
You can use the
NET USE
command to create, recreate and delete drive mappings.
If you wish you can use SET to create additional
environment variables to call from your script.
Useful arguments for the NET USE command:
net use x: \\SERVER\Share /YES
(This will suppress the confirmation to map or remap drive
X:)
net use x: /delete
net view (Display open shares and drive mappings)
net x: \\UNCPATH\Share /user:UserName
password /persistent:NO /YES
