[THIN] Re: Does anyone still remap drives?

Well that's debatable.

But at the end of the day, they introduced the functionality - and in
effect, persuaded deployers that this functionality was poignantly
useful. It's a bit previous, now, to pull the plug - admins may well
have become used to this, and have some need for it.

(user community, and their demands, aren't always reasonable)

As I said, personally, I'm ambivalent - but I can see how deployers may
well be used to this.

But at the same time, it costs Citrix money to support and re-engineer
this
feature for 2008. This money could be better spent else ware.

I'd argue that there is - Citrix have been supporting, and perhaps
encouraging this sort of thing for years. It's a bit previous to yank it
now.

Personally, I'm ambivalent - I've used it, but I could live without it -
but all the same, Citrix introduced this functionality, and to a certain
degree, encouraged it's use.

There is no technical reason as to why Citrix should support it. I've
never been a fan of it anyways. If the users cannot follow simple
instruction then the company needs to ask why are they using a computer
or even why are they employed.

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

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.
