Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer nam

[Guest DLecool]

We're running a terminal server 2003 with aprox. 10 concurrent users. We are

experiencing a problem where clients' mapped drives have an incorrect

computer name. For example if user Joe whose computer name is JoesBox maps

his local C drive and then goes to My Computer in TS, it should say "C on

JoesBox Computer" but it doesn't, it may say something like "C on DavesBox

Computer". The computer name seems to be the one of another user that was

previously connected to TS. Browsing the drive still shows Joe's files but

this incorrect computer name is freaking out our clients. It seems like

terminal server is doing some caching on the computer name.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Do all users have unique usernames and profile paths?

They do. I forgot to mention that the Terminal Server is part of a domain and

the user names are stored on the domain controller, but no roaming profiles

are used, i.e. user profiles are stored on the application server itself.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Can you check the value of the environment variable CLIENTNAME

within a user session?

In your example, when Joe connects and he sees his drive listed as

"C on DavesBox Computer", does CLIENTNAME equals JoesBox or

DavesBox?

check from a command prompt, with "set c"

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Thanks for helping out on this,

 

I just checked the environment variables and the CLIENTNAME says ROBOTO

which is correct, that is the name of my client computer. But in My Computer

under Other it says E on NYCDOE's Computer instead of E on ROBOTO's Computer.

And I'm the only one logged into the server. Earlier today a different

computer name was showing. Very strange. So the question is where is Windows

pulling the computer name from to name the drives? Any paths in registry I

should check? If no solution is found could I create a startup script that

would rename the client's drive based on the env. variable CLIENTNAME?

 

Thanks?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

This sounds really weird, and I have no idea what causes this

behaviour, nor how you can solve it.

I would call Microsoft support.

Is there a particular number I should call? Is the support free of charge?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

You can find your local MS Support number here:

http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support

 

If it turns out that the problem is caused by a bug in a Microsoft

product, you won't be charged for the support.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Do you see the incorrect redirected drive name in explorer or command prompt

(net use) or both?

 

Also, what is the client version?

 

Thanks

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

In explorer only for both domain and computer accounts (administrator

accounts as well). I'm running the client from Win XP SP2. Problem appears in

both older (5.1 I think) and the newer client 6.0. Same problem for Apple Mac

clients.

 

Command promot doens't mention <computer name> but only the drive name in

form \\TSCLIENT\C, explorer shows the full name as <disk name> on <computer

name> like "C on <computer name>" where the computer name is the incorrect

one and different from the environment variable CLIENTNAME.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Greetings all,

 

I have inhereted a system having the same problem with one username

showing up for all the users on the TS (Same setup). In the registry I

found keys with the Drive letters and the rouge username under

hkey_classes_root > CLSID and under HKLM >CLSID,

 

I'm assuming it has something to do with the profile configuations at

this point. I'm really hoping that there is a quick and easy fix

 

Regards

Dillyn

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

I have an identical issue. In my case, an administrator connected to the

terminal server using the RDP Client for Mac (not sure which version).

Subsequently all terminal server sessions that opt to connect local drives

have that user's Mac's computer name displayed within their session (e.g. "C

on Applexxx" instead of "C on PCxxx"). I can see that global CLSID entries

are registered for client connections with the Mac computer name tattooed

into the key description. (e.g. the CLSID {xxxx-xxxx-xxx...} key has the

data "C on Applex", followed by the value InfoTip with data "Disk from Remote

Desktop Connection"). Normally only CLSID entries for client computer local

device connections are created and stored in the HKCU hive.

We've not encountered this problem before, however I believe this would be

the first time that an admin has connected using a Mac. Is this a known

issue with the RDP Mac client?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

Not that I know of.

Please find out if the admin connected with the current version of

the Mac RDC client (1.0.3) or if he used the beta version of Mac

RDC 2.0.

If this is a problem which is introduced in Mac RDC 2.0, it is

important to report this as a bug:

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

 

It turns out the admin person did log in using the RDC 2 Beta client. Also

she did not log in using her admin account but with a standard domain user

account. I will report this as a bug to the Beta program.

There's a hotfix for it:

drives in Windows Server 2003 terminal server sessions if both

Windows-based and Macintosh-based terminal server clients are used
