Hi Craig,

thanks for the info. I will have a look at it (after my holiday).

Of course we could map to a shared drives from the client, but up to now it
was too much effort to us to do that automatically on login. And we have to
maintain somewhere a list which machine name for which logon user - or is
the information where the terminal session logon request comes from
somewhere accessible in a logon script? 

As to license costs (what is a factor for us, as we mainly have NT4 clients)
it is the same with Citrix Metaframe, there we also need Terminalserver CALs
for each client device
(that is not Win2000 or WinXP).

Peter
