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

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.

Has anyone seen this policy setting do anything?

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
