Hey fellow-sufferers :),

I'm running a local 200 server 32-bit XenApp 4.5 RO3 farm on W2K3 SP2 with full PN-Client 10.0 installed. No Ctx . policies applied apart from load load rules + load throtteling.

Our users are accessing published desktops with roaming profiles on this farm. The problem I've got is with one of our HR-services provider. We're accessing their payroll-application through the providers web-interface. The application istself starts properly and works fine but the client drive mapping is not working.

The strange thing about that is, that it used to work for around 1 week and then stopped working all of a sudden. There have been no patches or other known changes to the environment.

Due to the local c:\ drive being hidden the provider created a VB-script to map another driver letter pointing to a shared folder instead. This used to work fine for the week mentioned before.

If objFso.FolderExists("S:\") Then
 objNet.RemoveNetworkDrive "S:", True
End If
objNet.MapNetworkDrive "S:", "
\\Client\S$"
On Error GoTo 0

I thought of a problem in the webica.ini but could not even find it in the users profile. Nor in the AppData\ICAClient neither in the windows folder.
Also tried to connect from an MPS 4 Server with 9.x client and from 4.5 with XenApp Plugin 11 ... same story.

Really don't know where to go on with the troubleshooting.

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks guys

Besides, starting the application locally from a fatclient, there's no problem connecting the client drives

I would hazard a guess that S$ is not available on the client side.  Try a manual mapping once the session has been established:

net use S: \\Client\S$

Hi Emil,

thanks for your comment. Manual mapping is not possible because the application is running in an external environment and I do not have a command line available. Its just a published app that I see. But I will ask their IT guys to log the output. Maybe this helps ...

Depending on the policies, you can use the right click, map drive method.  If you are at the client side, can you confirm that the S$ drive is shared and accesable?  Also is this an issue for all clients?  If not try resetting local drive access:
