Sounds more like an OS issue rather than a Citrix issue

Final Question.

 

Q

Is it true that XenApp 5 on Windows Server 2008 does not support the drive 
remapping tool?

 

 

 

A

Yes. Since Windows Server 2008 does not let you install the Operating System on 
a non-C drive, XenApp 5 on Windows Server 2008 does not support the drive 
remapping tool.

that's a good reason.  Have you seen that documented?  I'm implementing XenApp5 
(which is MPS 4.5 SP1).

Technical reason not to remap....coming in XenApp5, remapped drives will no

It all depends on your environment and what your users will expect.  My last 
job I worked we did remap the drives but my current job we don't.  

 

Thank you,

Just curious if anyone still remaps drives on Citrix servers.  My impression is 
that most people have moved away from the practice.  I'm designing a new Citrix 
farm and wondering what the technical reasons are not to remap drives.
