Thank you for your letter, but this is not exactly the problem I ment. 
I know how to make shares named:

\\Server1\SYS and
\\Server1\DriveT

I don't know how to make a share named

\\Server1\SYS\DriveT

I would like to map this to T: to achieve compatibility to my old
Novell server.

Thank you in advance,
