In my experience, drive remapping is good or bad per application. Some
crappy apps hardcode instal routines to c:\winnt instead of
%systemroot%, and that will cause massive problems. I use remapped
drives on all servers, except ones that run poorly coded apps.

ON documentation, never seen any.

Subject: [THIN] drive remapping


Hi all

i recall from the CCA course that our instructor recommended against
drive 
remapping.
the was often confirmed by a fellow senior engineer.

howver, I am now with another employer who has several (50) citirx
servers 
all with drives remapped.
we are in the process of planning a rebuild (for other configuration 
reasons) and I am telling them they do not need to remap the drives - 
however, I cannot find documentation to support my claims.

can anyone point me at a best practices document regarding drive
remapping. Citrix.com has one but it only says HOW TO configure drive
remapping, it 
does not give an opinion on USE or DONT USE drive remapping.

help?

jeff
