Passing Server Drive Mapping Through To Session

[Rabuf4602]

Is it possible to pass a Drive Mapping on the Citrix Server on through to a Clients session. Like if I publish Microsoft Word can I pass a Mapped Drive (mapped on the Citrix server) to the Client also? This is needed to allow Clients to use a File Server on the same side of a Firewall as the Citrix Server, the Clients are on the opposite side of the firewall.

If it can be done, what are the steps?

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Isnn't that normal UNC mapping? Just as long as the citrix session account has access rights, i cannot see why it should not work. \\fileserver\sharename ?

How would one establish the connection when the users session begins, would it be in a login script. How could the mapping be made perminate?

You can load the line through whatever you want, loginscript, usrlogon.cmd, batch file as published app

net use /persisten:yes to make permanent.

All dos commands give excellent support, when running /? behind it.

This is done like any other drive mapping when logging in to a Windows Domain. It is a Windows thing not Metaframe. Ususally login scripts.

I have basicly the same question - only I need server specific mapping. Our software vendor in their great development logic requires C: drive mapping to the root. We have 2 servers with load balancing. I have a mix of published desktops for thin clients and workstations that have desktop short cuts to the published app. The desktop have a batch file that maps server specific (ex net use C: \\j4server\m$ --- or \\j5server\m$). The question is how can I have a published app being called from the desktop map C: to the server it loads from.

Thanks

use the subst command on the MF servers.

go to a command prompt and type subst /? for the proper format.

Or, rebuild your MF servers and do not remap the drives.
