Default Change C drive when TS user logging in.



I have an DOS appl. that needs to look for files i c:\xxx folder. I can't
change to H:\xxx or something else.

How can I change the "location" for the C drive for each user that connects
with TS/RDP?

I want the c:\xxx folder to be different for each user.

Type

subst /?

in a command prompt. You can use this in a login script.

Note - the fact that you're using TS isn't really relevant here - this is a
basic Windows networking thing. You may get more eyes on your question if
you post it in a general networking group (try
microsoft.public.windows.server.networking, for example).

"Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]"

That was my first thought as well, but it won't work. As I
understand the problem, the aplication has hardcoded the search
path to C:\xxx. You won't be able to use the subst command, since
there is already a drive C:
The only setting in which this is possible is when the server runs
Citrix AND has remapped the local (on the server) C: drive to M:
(or whatever letter). Then you can have the user files on M:\xxx
and use the command subst M:\xxx C:

Hi,

One way (mentioned already by Vera) is to have the system drive
be something other than C. This is best to do when you install
the OS, but is possible to do by remapping with the Citrix tool.

The other way is to use a virtualization package such as Thinstall
or Microsoft SoftGrid (part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization
Pack for Software Assurance).
