I use \\client\com1 <file:///\\client\com1> for direction on my 2003 servers. We have gauges that use com1 on client PCs. I find that the interface with our charting application and the gauges on com1 is slower than 2000, but couldn't find any rhyme or reason. Maybe it's our home grown app and not the port direction. It's intermittent and the complainer is a "frequent flyer" on the helpdesk. So we are just living with it. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 8:39 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Com Port Redirection W2K3 Putting together a new system and one of the requirements is com port redirection on the client for equipment communication. I know the W2K added com ports for printers but does W2K3 allow redirection like Citrix has for some time by means of net use com1 \\client\com1 <file:///\\client\com1> If it is possible, has anyone implemented it? Are there any issues? -- Thanks, Scott D.
