[THIN] Re: Hide CDROM

Hi Angela,

You could remove the drive letter and then mount it to an NTFS path instead, 
say C:\CDROM.  That way you can always get to the CDROM by going to that 
location.  Following that, if you needed a drive letter for whatever reason in 
the future (say an install required it) you can always SUBST a drive letter 
temporarily, but the main point is that the CDROM is accessible without needing 
to revisit Disk Management each time you need it.

Regards,
Jon

  I guess I could but then I would be changing the server stds for the company 
I work for (they are normally pretty strict).  I was really hoping there would 
be a AD GPO that prevents the CDROM from Mapping but I couldnt find such a 
setting

  Hi Angela,


  You could assign a different drive letter to the CDROM an then hide the new 
drive letter via GPO. So you can still use G: as a network mapping.
  That's how I would do it.

    Hi

    When users run Windows Explorer, the Citrix Server CDROM is mapped.  Is 
there a way to stop the CDROM mapping so its not mapped?  I dont want to hide 
the CDROM letter via a GPO as I want to use the same drive letter to map to a 
network share.  

    Eg CDROM uses drive letter G:  I want to map G: to map to another network 
location

    I know I can remove the letter assigned to the CDROM on each server via 
Disk Management but I would rather not as I use the CDROM on each server once 
in a while.  Im hoping there would be a GPO that would prevent the CDROM from 
mapping.  I could then use the same drive letter to add my new network mapping

    Thanks
    Ang
