The following information will describe how to change ESM 2.0 to run locally, for training purposes, and how to change ESM 2.0 to run on your server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
RUN ESM 2.0 LOCALLY ( FOR TRAINING )

If this workstation is for Training purposes only, you will need to make sure that the "V" drive is mapped to your local machine.  This is done by editing your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  You will need to make sure that the following line is present:

subst v: c:\

This will allow ESM 2.0 to run on your machine locally.  Once you have completed the change, restart your computer.  

You are now ready to run ESM 2.0 in TRAINING Mode.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
RUN ESM 2.0 ON THE NETWORK ( REAL VOTER DATABASE )

If this workstation is not going to be used for Training purposes only, make sure that the "V" drive is mapped to your network ESM server.  First, make sure that the following line is present in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

REM subst v: c:\

If the line is present without the "REM ", add REM in front of the line and save the change.  Then you will need to restart the computer to remove the reference to your local machine.

Next, you will need to map a network drive to your ESM Server.  This can be done by right clicking on "Network Neighborhood" and selecting "Map Network Drive..." on the popup menu.

You will need to select "V:" for the Drive Letter and in the Path field enter the full path to the ESM share against the ESM server.  You will need to enter it according to the following example:

\\ESM_SERVER\ESM_Share

Make sure the "Reconnect at logon" checkbox is selected.

Once you have complete the change, you are now ready to run ESM 2.0 on the REAL ESM Database.
