The client doesn't know a thing about the server map.
In the UNIX version, the client uses a X-windows
connection to look at the same map as the server.
Therefore you really only need to customize on map.
In NT, the map files resides on the client, and it's a
pain to synchronize the map. In my case, since my
maps are still named default, so I just copy all of
the files from the
\usr\ov\databases\openview\mapdb\default to the client
directory. This will replace the clients map. Take a
look at the getservermap.bat, I think the syntax is:
getservermap 'netview drive share letter' 'name of the
map'
