Local Drive Letters / Conflict with H Drive

[mattpant]

We have some machines with Card a readers installed - when they were originally setup I manually changed one of the drive letters from H:\ (Which is what we use for our Home Drives) to a drive letter we don't use on the network.

 

Yesterday, out the blue I noticed that these machines were not mapping our home drives - the other drives were fine, I took a further look under drive management and the card reader is trying to use H:\ drive again (although it doesn't show up in Windows a Explorer when no card is inserted)

 

Is there anyway via Group Policy that I can either Force the Network dive to always use H over the local card reader OR centrally change the local drive letter on the computers from H to something else without manually visiting every machine effected?

 

Thanks

Have you tried USBDLM? USB Drive Letter Manager - USBDLM

+1 for USBDLM, by far the easiest way to manage local drive letters and controllable from one .ini file

Thanks - I remember using this tool a very long time ago - can this be pushed out and deployed across the Network from group policy does anyone know?

 

Thanks

Just had a good read on the website for the tool and it mentions that you can install with an MSI file for network deployment, so question answered!
