We are planning on doing it in our upcoming upgrade for one of our
clients.  We need to do this for an opposite reason than most people.
We need the C drive to be available on an individual basis for all users
because of poorly coded apps that use the C drive for statically named
temp files.

One other issue that I've had is when I did a (non-recommended)
installation of citrix on a w2k DC with remapping of drives we had to
track down the problem with NT File Replication Service.  I had to find
(didn't see it documented anywhere) the
%systemroot%\system32\ntfrsupg.exe program to fix the problems with FRS.

Subject: [THIN] To Remap or not to remap?




I had decided that when I rebuilt our Citrix server to remap the server
=3D drive letters to M: and N: so that when fat clients login their =
local
=3D drives are mapped to C: and D:.  At the moment they map to V: W: =
which
=3D does confuse the users (not hard to do).

I have been doing alot of research and reading about setting up Citrix =
=3D
and for the second time have noted that the remapping of server drives =
=3D
is "not recommended".  In neither place does it say why is it not =3D
recommended.

So my question to you is, why is it not recommended?
