RDP Mapped Drives

[Guest Tristan]

We seem to be experiencing problems with the drive mapping on our server.

An example of this:

 

I (Jo Bloggs) connect to the server and see my drive mapped through as "C on

Jo Bloggs Computer". Now when Client 2 and Client 3 connect to the server

they are also getting "C on Jo Bloggs Computer" as is every other user.

However the C drive mapping is my local drive but just has another name for

drive mapping which always "on Jo Bloggs Computer"

 

Has any one experienced this before and how can I rectify this?

 

Thanks in advance

There's another post in this newsgroup with exactly the same problem,

but that poster connected from a Macintosh with the latest Mac RDC

beta client. What's your OS and version of the rdp client, and what's

the OS on your server?

Re: RDP Mapped Drives

 

Its running on Server 2003 R2 Service pack 2. We have a few clients who

connect with both RDP client 5 and 6. However i believe that the client

who's causing all the mapped drives to rename actually connects to our

server with a Mac.

 

Thanks

That must be it, then.

 

Could you please ask the client to report this as a bug on the Mac

RDC beta 2 feedback page at:
