[THIN] Re: To Remap or not to remap?

I've seen the drive mapping tool that ships with XP FR2/SP2 fail on numerou=
s occasions, often needing a reload of the OS to get the server happy again.

I would suggest remapping if possible if only for two reasons.

1. Ease of use from the users point of view when trying to access client dr=
ives.
2. The number of virii that get stopped dead in their tracks as they're har=
d coded to do nasty things to c:

Depends on your apps mainly.

Depends on other things like your applications.  If your applications are
hard
coded to use c: and D: it can be real problems.

I had decided that when I rebuilt our Citrix server to remap the server =3D
drive letters to M: and N: so that when fat clients login their local =3D
drives are mapped to C: and D:.  At the moment they map to V: W: which =3D
does confuse the users (not hard to do).

I have been doing alot of research and reading about setting up Citrix =3D
and for the second time have noted that the remapping of server drives =3D
is "not recommended".  In neither place does it say why is it not =3D
recommended.

So my question to you is, why is it not recommended?
