Hi,

I have enabled Drive Redirection when connecting to TS. I am able to see
the redirected drive (e.g. C on tsclient) in Windows Explorer. However, when
I tried to save a file in Notepad, the redirected drive does not appear in
the Save As dialog box. I am also wondering why there is no drive letter
assigned to the redirected drive. I would appreciate someone can kindly shed
some light on me. Thank you.

Alex
 
Re: Cannot See Redirected Drive

Hi,

Were you able to save the notepad file by explicitly entering \\tsclient\c\
in the file save text box?

Also, you can assign a drive letter to the redirected client drives as
follows:
net use p: \\tsclient\c

TS would not automatically assign a drive letter to the redirected drives.

Thanks,
Priya.

Re: Cannot See Redirected Drive

Hi Priya,

Do you mean \\tsclient\c$? Yes, I am able to save using \\tsclient\c$ where
tsclient is my local computer name.

Is there a variable that I can use to get the value of tsclient so that I
can use it in the logon script?

Thanks,
Alex

Re: Cannot See Redirected Drive

You can use tsclient in your logon script, exactly as you used it
interactively, i.e.

net use p: \\tsclient\c

will assign P: to every user's redirected C drive.

Re: Cannot See Redirected Drive

Found the policy (Hide My Computer on the Desktop) that hide it.
