[THIN] Re: Hide CDROM

Hi Angela,

 

You could remove the drive letter and then mount it to an NTFS path instead, say C:\CDROM.  That way you can always get to the CDROM by going to that location.  Following that, if you needed a drive letter for whatever reason in the future (say an install required it) you can always SUBST a drive letter temporarily, but the main point is that the CDROM is accessible without needing to revisit Disk Management each time you need it.

 

Regards,

Jon

I guess I could but then I would be changing the server stds for the company I work for (they are normally pretty strict).  I was really hoping there would be a AD GPO that prevents the CDROM from Mapping but I couldnt find such a setting

Hi Angela,

You could assign a different drive letter to the CDROM an then hide the new drive letter via GPO. So you can still use G: as a network mapping.

That's how I would do it.

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
