I have a piece of AppleScript I use from mounting AppleShare Servers for backup purposes:
mount volume "Data Archive" on server "Steve's Computer" as user name "Admin" with password "backup"
This worked fine on all servers, but recently it has not worked with the main iMac it needs to. The target problem machine is a DVD iMac running 8.6, which has a FireWire Drive (Data Archive) attached. I have checked everything I can think of, and the config appears to be the same as all the
other machines. The Error Message returned is
If anyone could shed any light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks,

I regularly mount AppleShare and Novell servers onto five 400MHz iMac DV models (running OS 8.6 and 9.0) using a Scripting addition called ‘MountVol’
The script I’ve written reads as follows:
MountVolume Zone "all" Server "COLOUR" Volume "Distinctive Homes" Username "iMac_Final_Output" Password "imac"
‘MountVol’ can be found in the Scripting Additions page at:
[url=http://www.ranchero.com/osaxen/all.html]http://www.ranchero.com/osaxen/all.html[/url]
or failing this try ‘MountVolume’ from the following:
[url=http://cgi.scriptweb.com/osaxen/mountvolume.html]http://cgi.scriptweb.com/osaxen/mountvolume.html[/url]
or even try MountIP from the following:
[url=http://cgi.scriptweb.com/osaxen/mountip.html]http://cgi.scriptweb.com/osaxen/mountip.html[/url]
As I’ve said, MountVol’s the one I use and it works where even the standard Apple scripting Addition won’t. Give it a try!
Ta ta,
