Drive Mappings

[Guest Chu17]

We have about 50 users that we want to send a RDP icon to. This rdp icon

launches the user directly into an application which is being accessed

through a terminal server to a stand alone Windows 2003 server. Using the my

credentials I mapped a drive on the terminal server to the application on the

standalone server. My problem is that when a user launches the RDC icon they

are not pre-mapped on the terminal server to the share on the standalone

server which causes the application not to launch and they get bounced out of

the session. Is there a way to map these users to the application server

without using a group policy in active directory. In order to use a gp in ad

we would have to involve headquarters and we would like to do this locally.

Thanks in advance, Gloria

Re: Drive Mappings

 

Just map the drive in a logon script for all users:

 

net use X: \\server\share
