I am having a problem with mapping local hard drive access during the Terminal Server 2000 session. I have installed the Drmapsrv.exe on the Server as well as the client as per the resource kit instructions. According to these instructions the mapping should happen automatically, however this is not the case with my setup. I have even tried using the Net use and the Net share commands to no avail. Can anyone give me some input as to how to make the local drive accessible in the Terminal Server session?

What clients are you using?

According to MS KB Article Q244725 (Using Drive Share with Terminal Services), only NT and Win2K clients can use this utility.

You also cannot use this utility when making use of the Terminal Services Advanced Client.

Also in this same article, it states that "This tool is not guaranteed to work properly over the Internet because of router configurations." This tells me that ports being closed on the router may prevent this from working. This tool makes use of NetBIOS name resolution to function. The NetBIOS Name Service uses TCP/UDP port 137. Other NetBIOS functions use ports 138 and 139. If any or all of these ports are closed on the routers at either the local end or the remote end, this MAY be the cause of your problem.

Hope this helps resolve your problem.

just map the drive by using \\computername\sharename. Log onto the server and then do a map back to the computer.
