[THIN] Re: Hide CDROM

Hi Angela,

Check http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555324

It mentions an adm file you can use to "de-map" the cdrom and/or other
removable media
(copy paste the text in the article in a text file and rename it to
.adm)

Mind you, I never tested if this actually works!
So YMMV

Grtz,

Ben

Hi

When users run Windows Explorer, the Citrix Server CDROM is mapped. Is
there a way to stop the CDROM mapping so its not mapped? I dont want to
hide the CDROM letter via a GPO as I want to use the same drive letter
to map to a network share.

Eg CDROM uses drive letter G: I want to map G: to map to another
network location

I know I can remove the letter assigned to the CDROM on each server via
Disk Management but I would rather not as I use the CDROM on each server
once in a while. Im hoping there would be a GPO that would prevent the
CDROM from mapping. I could then use the same drive letter to add my
new network mapping

Thanks
Ang
