Why each option
The AUTOEXEC.NCF file is stored in SYS:\SYSTEM, the NetWare volume directory that holds core server configuration and script files.
C:\ is the DOS root partition and holds pre-mount files only; AUTOEXEC.NCF requires the SYS volume to already be mounted.
SYS:\ is the root of the NetWare volume but NCF scripts are stored in the SYSTEM subdirectory, not the volume root.
C:\NWSERVER is where STARTUP.NCF and server boot files reside, not AUTOEXEC.NCF.
AUTOEXEC.NCF resides in SYS:\SYSTEM on the NetWare server volume. This directory holds server configuration scripts that run after the SYS volume is mounted, distinguishing it from STARTUP.NCF which must reside on the DOS partition before the volume is available.
SYS:\PUBLIC contains NetWare utilities and client-accessible tools, not server configuration scripts.
SYS:\STARTUP is not a standard NetWare directory path for NCF files.
C:\NWSERVER\STARTUP is a DOS-partition path associated with STARTUP.NCF processing, not AUTOEXEC.NCF.
Concept tested: NetWare AUTOEXEC.NCF file location on SYS volume
