Agreed, I try to discourage drive remapping when possible.

Also, it seems that even microsoft occasionally hard codes or, minimally
sets things back to the C: drive. I have found over the years that it much
better to NOT remap. You'll have less issues to deal with in the end.
Besides, most companies these days don't want users having access to their
local drives because they never get backed up.

There are pros and cons for remapping server drives. One gotcha is if
your applications are hard coded to look for a C: drive. Also, if you have
dynamic disks drive remapping will not work.

Subject: [THIN] Remap server drives
I'm wondering what people do in regards to remapping server drives to
high drive letters so clients mapped drives are normal? The first set of
servers that were setup did not remap letters, but I'm working on a 2nd set.
We tell our users to ONLY put documents in "my documents", and that is
remapped to a network point via mapped drive, so they really should never be
hitting their local drives. I can think of a situation where they may need
to get docs of a USB Pen drive and need to hit the local drive, but nothing
on a daily basis, so I don't think it's necessary to do the remap in my
situation. What do others do/think?
