Re: mapped drive required to run program specified in group policy

It is possible that the drive mapping is occuring after the policy executes.
You may want to create a login script that launches the application, later
in the login sequence.

Hello

I have a terminal server that I want select users to only run a single
application. So i have enabled a group policy that only applies to that
server, and user groups and enabled loopback processing
.
The users can log in, and they get their mapped drives and printers, and
can manually run the application I want them too.

The application requires a mapped drive x:\location.

This works fine until I set the user part of the policy to open up the
program, then it errors out as if the drive were not there.Anyone had to
do this before?


thanks
