number of drive mapping limits in Win XP Pro

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance




I understand there is a limit of 10 user connections when using Windows
XP Pro networking, but is there a limit to the number of drive
mappings? More specifically, do multiple drive mappings to a Win XP Pro
machine from a single user count against the total number of allowed
users, or does it only count as the one user?

Our office system will have up to 8 users connecting to a single Win Xp
Pro server, but some machines may have a single drive mapping, while
others may have as many as 4, depending on what data the user needs to
access. Under this scenario, I anticipate as many as 15 total drive
mappings across the 8 users. Do I need to limit the total mappings to
10, or am I OK just keeping the number of users at 10 or below?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer.
