MANUALLY MAP DRIVES ON TERMINAL SERVER

When using Terminal Services, you might also need to access files on the

local computer, which is what you use to connect to the Terminal Server.

Although Windows 2000 doesn't provide an easy way to do this, there is

still a free way: You can manually map local hard drives using the "net

use" command.



For instance, if you want to map the local C: drive into your Terminal

Services session, type net use * \\%clientname%\c$ in the command prompt

in your Terminal Server session. (%clientname% is an environment variable

that holds the name of your local machine. You can use this command in a

batch file, and thus, map the folders for each user you want.)



The one problem with this solution is that you must share the folder and

drives you want to map. This isn't a predicament for users who have

administrator privileges on their local computers because they can access the

default administrative shares (e.g., C$ and D$). However, users who

don't have administrator rights must create shares and assign the proper

permissions to the shares.
