Mapping a: drive in Terminal Server session

[jbyrne]

Is it possible to map a user's local a: drive in their terminal server session? I am not bothered if it is mapped as a:, it can be k: as long as it is that PCs floppy drive.

I can get my pc to share it's a drive and then, using vbscript, lookup the pc name and map it as the k: drive. However, when I go into Terminal Server 2000, the script doesn't work as WshNetwork.ComputerName looks at the Terminal Server's Computer Name. Is there any way I can get it to look at the client's computer name automatically instead?

If you download the new XP version of the RDP Client you can map any drive you want to any letter you want. It will also map your printers. This new client will run in W2k/XP and W98 for sure.

I have been using it for 3 months on a W2k and a 98 machine, and It works great.
