[THIN] Re: Client drive mapping for client network drives

Steve,

Yes, I saw this article.  It seems to imply what I'm doing, having to 
manually 'net use' the mappings.

I was just confused at the start, because I thought Citrix would do this 
automatically (or could be configured to do this automatically, or had at 
one time in a previous version, or whatever).

But, as my Citrix consultant said, I must have been smoking something.

Thanks,

Tony

I had to re-configure my policies to test it, but I did not see the 
network drivers as I expected to. I can?t spend more time on it now, but 
it seems to be acting the same way as yours?.. hmmm

Steve, 

On the farm where we tested we only have one policy. 

Are you seeing client network drives automatically showing up on your 
farm?

Do you have any other policies which might be overriding this one?

Steve, 

Nope, they don't show up anywhere but in 'change client /view'.

Yes, you got both areas. Do they show up in other applications other than 
explorer?

Steve, 

The screenshots you sent didn't come through on my email, so I'm not sure 
if we are looking at the same thing. 

But, we tried setting the client\devices\resources\drives\connection and 
mappings policies and making sure the mfcfg.exe settings allowed drive 
mappings. 

We're still not seeing the drives show up in applications like explorer 
(they consistently show up in a 'change client /view', though). 

Thanks,

Tony

There are two settings in the policy, did you check both? 

First, which drives to map: 




Then whether or not to cnnect at logon:

All, 

According to Citrix that policy is for enabling/disabling access to 
'remote drives' it doesn't automatically map remote drives (I haven't 
tested to make sure). 

Anyway, I wrote a little batch file to do it... 
 
     @echo off 
     :: 
     change client /view |findstr /i " Remote" >%TEMP%\drivemaps.txt 
     :: 
     for /f "tokens=1" %%i in (%TEMP%\drivemaps.txt) do net use * %%i 
/p:no 
     :: 
     del %TEMP%\drivemaps.txt 

I could've swore that Citrix used to do this automatically (XP at least), 
but our Citrix consultant swears that I must be smoking something.

it would be cool if it did though. 

What happens if you run a subst command to make the drive appear local? 
Just curious.  I have no need for it.

All, 

OK, maybe this is a really stupid question, but I thought if a client logs 
into Citrix with a drive mapped on their client that points to a network 
share that drive would show up (maybe as a different drive letter) in 
their Citrix applications, is this correct? 

We have a CPS4.0/R03/W2K3SP2 farm servicing version 9.15 clients, when 
they log in they see their 'fixed disks' but they don't see any of the 
network drives mapped on their client PC. 

If I log in I see the same thing (no client mapped network drives), 
however if I get to a command prompt in the session and run a 'change 
client /view' it shows my network drives mapped on my client as 'Remote' 
drives. 

Is this the way its always worked (I seem to remember all the client 
drives showing up unless you told Citrix not to)?  If not, what do I have 
to do to get the drives to show up? 

Thanks,

Tony
