USB Drives on t5725 with Win2008

[Gatt]

OK getting a problem with USB Drives

 

Using HP t5725 TC's with Windows 2008 TS

 

Had to create a custom rdesktop connection in HP Conn Manager to get it to connect the TS (due to RDP6.1 protocol)

 

This all worked fine.. until someone plugged in their USB Drive..

 

Bakc to the command line i find that I added the following to get it redirect the USB Drive

 

 rddesktop <> -r drive:usb_drive=/media/usb0

 

to no avail..

 

I'm guessing that this is Win2008's doing but as yet cannot resolve the issue (killing Win2008 is out as we have started using RemoteApps to run SIMS..)

 rddesktop <> -r drive:usb_drive=/media/usb0

 

The command line is wrong, you need to specify a sharename that is limited to 8 characters. Like so.

 

rddesktop <> -r drive:USB=/media/usb0

[Gatt]

tried that

 

also tried:

 

shared=

drives=

ffs=

argh=

ihateu=

 

then gave up

[Geoff]

Presumably you've enabled access to remote drives in the relevant places?

[Gatt]

erm.. just remind me about those "relevent places"
