Hi Peter, we do use thinpath for drive mapping but also drive map =
without it, although we only use this for IT maintenance.
As long as your pc is connected to the same domain as your ts you can =
map a drive using this (just as you would a normal drive mapping) =
instead and access it via the ts session.=20
Fair point pretty cheap to me is I think it was only about =A320 or less =
a seat. ThinPath is made by NCD. (www.ncd.com) They do free trials so =
get in touch and have a play.
Certainly, RDP 5.1 imho is far superior to 4 and VNC if used for running =
apps. But although the client is free if you don't have Win2k Pro or XP =
pro you still gotta pay for the TS CAL in APP mode.
Them's the breaks!

Hi Craig,
but then it is ThinPath providing the local drive mapping feature.
Pretty cheap: unless you give me a link to the manufacturer's suite I =
cannot
check what this means.
Also, cheap may mean a different thing for a > 200 user server
configuration,=20
at our site we have around 20 concurrent users currently so it is rather
small (but we have more complex application requirements)
Also there was a typ in my original mail, it was not VPN but VNC I used
before I found the RDP 5.1 to access my WindowsXP desktop.
