citrix homedrive mapping

I have PS 4.5 on a windows 2003 r2 server and I would like a script to map to the root of their home drive. Right now they get a parent folder called HOME then their folder. When the user logs in and goes to the D drive I would like for them to be routed stratight inside their home folder. Is there a way to do this?

Yes. Edit the script to map to \\servername\home\username and make sure

"home" is a share.

What you are referring to is called a deep drive mapping. Older

versions of Windows only allowed you to map directly to the share, that

is why lots of administrators shared the actual home directories

themselves. Big mess. Anyways, now, with newer versions of Windows,

you are able to map all the way to a folder inside a share. For

instance, if you have \\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDERA\FOLDERB\FOLDERC, you can

map to the share, which is what you traditionally did, or you could map

all the way to one of the folders, which will become the root of the

mapped drive.

 

So, where you were mapping to \\SERVER\SHARE, you'll want to map to

\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDERA

 

I hope this helps. Have a good Thanksgiving.
