[THIN] Re: Mapping Drives to Specific Users..

You could try telling your management, ever so politely, that they're idiots to 
keep any sort of significant data on the workstation.

Good luck with that J

Greg -

you got it.

i do have home folder and user profile implemented for a subset of users, but 
can't implement this for these users.

so i'm SOL ?

User A uses PC A in the office.

goes home, fires up his home PC and connects to the Citrix server for access.  
That user wants to access a share on PC A.

This is where a home drive and redirected "My Documents" Location is nice.

Once it is mapped, it should stick in the user's profile.  I think some simple 
training and a cheat sheet might work.

You don't have to configure a script to give access to local client drives 
through Citrix. Just enable client drive mapping in the ICA

properties. If you want them to access shared drives in Citrix session add 
drives in logon script.

How about moving the user's data to a centralized fileserver?  In the long run, 
that is the best place for it to be.  Or if your environment is small enough, 
perhaps GoToMyPC is a better choice than Citrix.

I need to come up with a script or a combination of methods so i users who are 
connecting through the citrix server are mapped to their local workstations' C 
drive.

in other words, when userA logs into excel via citrix and they click file open, 
they can drop down and see a drive mapping to their shared C drive at the 
office.

in the past, since we were a small shop, their computername would mimic their 
username; so the script would look like "net use /persistent:no W: 
\\%username%\c"

now we've changed the computername convention and i'm not sure how to 
accomplish the same mapping.
