Is there a way to do the following scenerio.

Computer A has a drive that is shared
Computer B has multiple people logging in simultaneous via remote desktop using different user ids.

Is there a way to map the drive located on computer A so that anyone that logs in to computer B has access to that shared drive without having to map the drive under everyones ID.

thank

I don't know that drive mappings remain associated with user profiles, but if they are, you could map the drive using one profile and copy that profile over to the default user profile and make everyone permitted to use the profile and give everyone rights to the drive being mapped.

Might work. Maybe. I don't know.

Drive mappings are session specific.

Try using the AT command to launch a command prompt under the local system account. Map the drive in that command window.

Drive mappings done under the local system account are created in the global namespace and are constant for all users (your system drive, the A: drive, etc are examples of these).

AT <hh:mm> /INTERACTIVE "cmd.exe"

Once the command window opens...

net use <drive>: \\server\share /PERSISTENT:yes
