The Drive Mapping module is used to connect and disconnect network drives.
Filter:
Select the name of the filter you want assigned to this configuration element.
Action:
Choose whether you want to Map a drive, Disconnect a drive, or Disconnect All drives.
NOTE: On Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME) clients, Disconnect and Disconnect All will unhide previously hidden drives.
Drive Letter:
Select the drive letter you want to Map or Disconnect. This option does not apply if you choose Disconnect All for the Action.
Map Persistent:
Persistent drive mappings are mappings that are reconnected automatically at the next logon. This option only applies if you choose Map for the action.
Hide (95/98/ME Only):
A hidden drive letter will not show up in My Computer or any of the standard Windows dialog boxes. This option should not be used to hide sensitive data since the drive letter is still accessible by other methods. This option only applies if you choose Map for the action.
NOTE: The Hide option is for Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME) clients only. On Windows NT based (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003) clients this option is controlled by either a System Policy or a Group Policy.
UNC Path:
Enter the UNC Path you want the Drive Letter mapped to. This option only applies if you choose Map for the action.
Explorer Label:
The Explorer Label is the name that will show up in My Computer and the standard Windows dialog boxes next to the drive letter. The Explorer Label can be changed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 clients only. This option only applies if you choose Map for the action.
NOTE: Script Start leverages Windows Scripting Host to change the Explorer Label. If you disable Windows Scripting Host on your clients, Script Start will be unable to modify the Explorer Label.
Example:
Filter: Global Settings
Action: Disconnect All
The above example will disconnect all drives. On Windows 9x (Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME) clients, all previously hidden drives will be unhidden.
Example:
Filter: Global Settings
Action: Map
Drive Letter: H:
Map Persistent: Enabled
Hide (95/98/ME Only): Disabled
UNC Path: \\ATLFS02\@userid
Explorer Label: Home Directory
The above example leverages the KiXtart macro @userid. When Script Start executes, the @userid macro is expanded into the username. Therefore, the H: drive will be mapped to a per-user share located on server ATLFS02. The drive will be mapped persistent and will be assigned the label Home Directory on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 clients.
