Alan, 
 
I'd agree - I can see their thinking, but its blinkered to think that
circumstances where administrators would want to override that.
 
This 'functionality' appears in v9 - do you need the full v9 functionality?
does it get more reliable if you drop down to 8?

Andrew,
If you mean 'trusted' or 'untrusted' in the sense of the accomapanying
article by Jeff - then it's untrusted. It's just that its's not consistent
e.g. I logged in this morning through our WI and got my C: drive. Experience
tells me that if I now log out and back in again there is a high probability
that I won't get this drive.
 
It's really frustrating - I can sort of understand the rationale to say that
WI connection may be 'untrusted' - but surely that's down to us to decide
(and enable). Our homeworkers are currently using 'known' PC's through an
SSL VPN tunnel, all sorts of end-point scans etc. The business has
eventually decided that these would come into the category of 'trusted'.
 
Regards,
 
Alan.

when it fails is your connection trusted or untrusted?

Have been requested to provide access to the C: for our homeworkers (after
much of a battle). Have enabled the appropriate policies including Citrix
ones and whilst I can see my C: through PN connection to the desktop I'm
having what I can only call inconsistent c: drive mapping through WI. See
the note from Jeff Pitsch
(http://www.brianmadden.com/content/content.asp?ID=504) to confirm. Anyone
with any ideas - I've tried doing a 'manual' mapping at logon but this is
also inconsistent.
