We have an issue with some of our Citrix Servers running PS4.5 , if the server has no LOCAL D drive the clients D drive is mapped to D$ . I need this to follow the InitialDriveMapping and map to U$
i.e.
LOCAL C = V$ ( nb : This maps ok , the clients C maps to the V$ without issue )
LOCAL D = U$
etc.. etc...
but it appears that when your citrix server does not have a local D drive the client mapping ignores the initialclientdrive and maps to D$
I even tried to create a D drive on the Citrix server by doing a Subst D: C:\ but this made no difference.
Can anyone give me an idea on how I can stop this behaviour.
Thanks

Hi,
The Citrix server will try to retain the original drive letters when mapping client-side drives. So, if your Citrix server doesn't have a D: drive and there is a client-side D: drive, then that same letter will be assigned to the mapped drive at logon.
If you really want the client D: drive to map as U: then you should change the drive letter for one of the CPS server logical drives to D: so that D: is no longer available, as you tried doing with subst.
Do you not have a CD-ROM drive on the server that you can change to D: from whatever it is now?
If not, you could map a network drive via a logon script to use up the D: drive letter, which should ensure that the U: drive gets used instead of D: for the client-side D: drive. Another quick and dirty solution - plug in a USB flash drive and assign it drive D:

Thanks for the reply , I will try the mapp drive rather than subst as this didnt work , it just seems a dirty way of doing it , you tell the mappings to start with V$ via the initialclientdrive and then it skips this setting and overrides it just because the D drive is available , we have blades so of course only one server will have the D drive at any one time as it is shared amonst all the blades.
