In Configuration Manager, the PackNALPath method encodes a network abstraction layer (NAL) path from its components. A NAL path is an abstract representation of a network path or a user account.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and is intended to show the definition of the method.

SInt32 PackNALPath(
     String DisplayQualifiers[],
     String NALType, 
     String NetworkOSPath, 
     String NetworkConnectionQualifiers[],
     String NALPath
);

Parameters

  • DisplayQualifiers
    Data type: String Array

    Qualifiers: [in]

    Qualifiers that are used by the Configuration Manager console. The possible values are: Display=<path, group, or user>. The value that you specify for the path must be the same as the value that you specify for NetworkOSPath. For path formats, see NetworkOSPath formats later in this topic.

  • NALType
    Data type: String

    Qualifiers: [in]

    The NAL type specified by the network operating system. Possible values are:

    GENERIC

    All providers accept this account specification. Use this value only when you specify a user or group name.

    MSWNET

    Windows NT.

    NWBIND

    Novell Netware bindery.

    NWNDS

    Novell NDS.

    LOCAL

    A local path.

  • NetworkOSPath
    Data type: String

    Qualifiers: [in]

    The network operating system path. Possible values are:

    Provider NetworkOSPath

    Windows NT user names

    <domain>\<user name>

    Windows NT group names

    <domain>\group=<group name>

    Windows Novell NDS user names

    <tree>\user=<user name>

    Windows Novell NetWare bindery user names

    <server>\user=<user name>

    Novell NDS group names

    <tree>\group=<group name>

    Novell NetWare bindery group names

    <server>\group=<group name>

    Generic group names

    GROUP=<group name>

    Windows NT (UNC) computer names

    \\<computer name>

    Windows NT (UNC) share names

    \\<computer name>\<share name>

    Novell NDS share names

    \\<tree>\.<volume name>.<org unit>. <o>

    Novel NetWare bindery share names

    \\<server>\<volume>

  • NetworkConnectionQualifiers
    Data type: String Array

    Qualifiers: [in]

    Optional. Configuration Manager component-specific qualifiers. The possible values are: SMS_SITE=<site code> [Preferred]. SMS_SITE identifies the site to which the path belongs. Preferred is optional and identifies the path to use when multiple paths are specified.

  • NALPath
    Data type: String

    Qualifiers: [out]

    Encoded NAL path.

Return Values

An SInt32 data type.

Example Code

The following example encodes a NAL path for an MSWNET network operating system.

    Dim clsNALMethods As SWbemObject
    Dim NALPath As String

    Set clsNALMethods = Services.Get("SMS_NAL_Methods")
    clsNALMethods.PackNALPath Array("Display=\\<server>"), "MSWNET", _
    "\\<server>", Array("SMS_SITE=<site code>"), NALPath

Remarks

Your application uses this method when creating a distribution point or defining system resources in the site control file programmatically. The method is not used to create a NAL path of an existing distribution point for an SMS_DistributionPoint Server WMI Class object. To determine the NAL path for an existing distribution point, the application should query the SMS_SystemResourceList Server WMI Class.
