The default behavior of Access Essentials is to map client drives to drive letters on the server so that users may access their drives from published applications. For example, the C: drive on the client device is mapped to the V: drive on the server so that users can access their local files.
An administrator may want to disable this functionality for all users or a subset of users. To do this, an administrator creates a policy to disable client drive mapping using the Presentation Server Console and applies the policy to users.
Procedure
Launch the Presentation Server Console and create a new policy:
- Open the Quick Start tool.
- Click Presentation Server Console under Citrix tools.
- Select Enable pass-through authentication if asked and click OK. The Presentation Server Console opens.
- Select the Policies node.
- Right-click Policies and select Create Policy.
- Type a meaningful policy name, such as “Disable Client Drive Mapping,” and click OK. A new blank policy is created, but has not yet been defined or applied to any users.
Define the properties of the new policy:
- Right-click the policy created in the previous steps and select Properties.
- Expand the Client Devices > Resources > Drives node and select Mappings.
- Select Enabled to activate the policy.
- Select each of the drive types to be disabled.
An administrator can disable the following drive types:
- Floppy disk drives
- Hard drives
- CD-ROM drives
- Remote (network) drives
- Click OK to continue. The policy has been defined, but has not yet been applied to any users.
