Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer nam

We're running a terminal server 2003 with aprox. 10 concurrent users. We are
experiencing a problem where clients' mapped drives have an incorrect
computer name. For example if user Joe whose computer name is JoesBox maps
his local C drive and then goes to My Computer in TS, it should say "C on
JoesBox Computer" but it doesn't, it may say something like "C on DavesBox
Computer". The computer name seems to be the one of another user that was
previously connected to TS. Browsing the drive still shows Joe's files but
this incorrect computer name is freaking out our clients. It seems like
terminal server is doing some caching on the computer name.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer nam

Do all users have unique usernames and profile paths?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

They do. I forgot to mention that the Terminal Server is part of a domain and
the user names are stored on the domain controller, but no roaming profiles
are used, i.e. user profiles are stored on the application server itself.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Can you check the value of the environment variable CLIENTNAME
within a user session?
In your example, when Joe connects and he sees his drive listed as
"C on DavesBox Computer", does CLIENTNAME equals JoesBox or
DavesBox?
check from a command prompt, with "set c"

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Thanks for helping out on this,

I just checked the environment variables and the CLIENTNAME says ROBOTO
which is correct, that is the name of my client computer. But in My Computer
under Other it says E on NYCDOE's Computer instead of E on ROBOTO's Computer.
And I'm the only one logged into the server. Earlier today a different
computer name was showing. Very strange. So the question is where is Windows
pulling the computer name from to name the drives? Any paths in registry I
should check? If no solution is found could I create a startup script that
would rename the client's drive based on the env. variable CLIENTNAME?

Thanks?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

This sounds really weird, and I have no idea what causes this
behaviour, nor how you can solve it.
I would call Microsoft support.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Is there a particular number I should call? Is the support free of charge?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

You can find your local MS Support number here:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support

If it turns out that the problem is caused by a bug in a Microsoft
product, you won't be charged for the support.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Do you see the incorrect redirected drive name in explorer or command prompt
(net use) or both?

Also, what is the client version?

Thanks

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

In explorer only for both domain and computer accounts (administrator
accounts as well). I'm running the client from Win XP SP2. Problem appears in
both older (5.1 I think) and the newer client 6.0. Same problem for Apple Mac
clients.

Command promot doens't mention <computer name> but only the drive name in
form \\TSCLIENT\C, explorer shows the full name as <disk name> on <computer
name> like "C on <computer name>" where the computer name is the incorrect
one and different from the environment variable CLIENTNAME.

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Greetings all,

I have inhereted a system having the same problem with one username
showing up for all the users on the TS (Same setup). In the registry I
found keys with the Drive letters and the rouge username under
hkey_classes_root > CLSID and under HKLM >CLSID,

I'm assuming it has something to do with the profile configuations at
this point. I'm really hoping that there is a quick and easy fix

Regards
Dillyn
 
Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

I have an identical issue. In my case, an administrator connected to the
terminal server using the RDP Client for Mac (not sure which version).
Subsequently all terminal server sessions that opt to connect local drives
have that user's Mac's computer name displayed within their session (e.g. "C
on Applexxx" instead of "C on PCxxx"). I can see that global CLSID entries
are registered for client connections with the Mac computer name tattooed
into the key description. (e.g. the CLSID {xxxx-xxxx-xxx...} key has the
data "C on Applex", followed by the value InfoTip with data "Disk from Remote
Desktop Connection"). Normally only CLSID entries for client computer local
device connections are created and stored in the HKCU hive.
We've not encountered this problem before, however I believe this would be
the first time that an admin has connected using a Mac. Is this a known
issue with the RDP Mac client?

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Not that I know of.
Please find out if the admin connected with the current version of
the Mac RDC client (1.0.3) or if he used the beta version of Mac
RDC 2.0.
If this is a problem which is introduced in Mac RDC 2.0, it is
important to report this as a bug:

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

Re: Local Resources - mapped client's drive has incorrect computer

It turns out the admin person did log in using the RDC 2 Beta client. Also
she did not log in using her admin account but with a standard domain user
account. I will report this as a bug to the Beta program.

There's a hotfix for it:

drives in Windows Server 2003 terminal server sessions if both
Windows-based and Macintosh-based terminal server clients are used
