I am trying to map the client floppy from a terminal services session.

does anyone know the correct syntax?



I know its somthing like:
%clientcomp%

i have tried %machinename%

Can anyone help?

 
On your clients machine you need to share the A: as adrive or whatever name you want.

Then inside you Terminal Server session you can go out to a dos prompt and type;

Net Use T: \\machinename\adrive


Now you can copy whatever files you want to the T: which is your clients A drive.
 
yep,

but i need to put it in a login script to run evry time a user logs on , i will not know their computername
 
Is there somewhere i can get a list of the %--% commands? I know username and computername, but are there others?
 
I Found an answer,

%clientname% is the currently connected TS client
i used

\\%clientname%.bham.com\Floppy-drive

i would also like to find a list of the %--% commands

Thanks for all the help
