Assignment

Document ID: CTX105535, Created on: Dec 30, 2004, Updated: Jan 1, 2005
Products: Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003, Citrix
MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003
Symptoms
When running the Microsoft 2003 Sysprep tool to change the ID after
ghosting the server, the 2003 Sysprep tool changes the drive letters
assignment. The M: and N: drives revert back to C: and D: drives.
This is a known issue listed in CTX102497 ? Advanced Concepts Guide for
MetaFrame XP with Feature Release 3, on page 103:
?Do not attempt to use drive image software to restore an image of a
MetaFrame server with remapped drives. Remapped drives will partially
revert to the original configuration on the deployed server rendering the
server unusable. Servers with remapped drives can be duplicated using a
hardware solution such as Compaq Smart Array controllers with RAID1 drive
mirroring.?
Resolution
Use the NewSID tool to change the Security Identifier (SID) after ghosting
the server. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml
