We've used client drive mappings from day 1, but I'm starting to see them as
more of a migration tool than a good long term idea. It's nice to allow
users to shift documents and similar onto the network when they first
migrate to thin client but once that's done it's far nicer to stop them
having easy access to their local drives. Everything goes onto the network
where it's easy to backup and available from anywhere. I still like to have
the option of mapping to \\client\c$ but I now tend not to map it to a drive
letter once users have migrated.

In my Metaframe environment I currently restrict client drive mappings, but
am being asked to rethink this policy.  What are the list's opinions (pro's
and con's) involving client drive mappings?
