Many virus-types spread via mapped network drives, so I would think the risk to the server is increased significantly if a client connects and drive-mapping is enabled. All the more reason to be sure your server is protected with real-time virus scanning and scheduled system scans.

If a client PC has a file infected with a virus, does local dive mapping have any effect on the potential to transfer that virus to the server? If the client does not have local drives mapped could the infected file infect the server? And would local drives being mapped increase the potential? ********************************************** This weeks sponsor 99Point9.com 99Point9 helps solve your unresolved technical server-based questions, issues and incidents. http://www.99point9.com *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm _______ NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic message is considered privileged and confidential under Florida Statutes 455.251 and 3905.017.
