[THIN] Re: Does anyone still remap drives?

It’s a Server 2008 thing… See the last question in this Q&A. Not a good reason to move to Server 2008 IMHO

I got this from a Citrix SE a couple weeks back, as he discussed the changes coming in XenApp5.

Um, why? There is NO technical reason why Citrix should not support it. This is a stupid move.

Technical reason not to remap....coming in XenApp5, remapped drives will no longer be supported.

It all depends on your environment and what your users will expect.  My last job I worked we did remap the drives but my current job we don't. 

 

Thank you,

Just curious if anyone still remaps drives on Citrix servers.  My impression is that most people have moved away from the practice.  I'm designing a new Citrix farm and wondering what the technical reasons are not to remap drives.
