Guest Kalif Davis Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 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? EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com
Guest SBS Rocker Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Re: citrix homedrive mapping Yes. Edit the script to map to \\servername\home\username and make sure "home" is a share. <Kalif Davis> wrote in message news:20071113145854bdlif@yahoo.com... >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.

Is there a way to do this? 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.
