RDP Mapped Drives

We seem to be experiencing problems with the drive mapping on our server.
An example of this:

I (Jo Bloggs) connect to the server and see my drive mapped through as "C on
Jo Bloggs Computer". Now when Client 2 and Client 3 connect to the server
they are also getting "C on Jo Bloggs Computer" as is every other user.
However the C drive mapping is my local drive but just has another name for
drive mapping which always "on Jo Bloggs Computer"

Has any one experienced this before and how can I rectify this?

Thanks in advance

Tristan
 
Re: RDP Mapped Drives

There's another post in this newsgroup with exactly the same problem,
but that poster connected from a Macintosh with the latest Mac RDC
beta client. What's your OS and version of the rdp client, and what's
the OS on your server?

Re: RDP Mapped Drives

Its running on Server 2003 R2 Service pack 2. We have a few clients who
connect with both RDP client 5 and 6. However i believe that the client
who's causing all the mapped drives to rename actually connects to our
server with a Mac.

Thanks

Re: RDP Mapped Drives

That must be it, then.

Could you please ask the client to report this as a bug on the Mac
RDC beta 2 feedback page at:

https://connect.microsoft.com/macrdc
