Found an answer. AppSense can do it natively. Can't see the wood for the
trees.

Different users require different mappings, which makes this a non-starter.
And they don't want to maintain any more than one mandatory profile. They
want to import Registry keys at logon to define network drives for each
user, which will not all be the same. As I said, mad.

Well, set the profiles back to ordinary, make the changes and make them
mandatory again.

If I knew the Reg keys that controlled that, I would be on a winner. These
users have mandatory profiles.

Map them manually and select reconnect at logon.

Here's a rather ridiculous question I need an answer to for one PITA account
-

 

Is it possible to map network drives using a Registry setting? I have one
client who wants to run everything via AppSense and this is the solution
they want, they don't want a logon script either old-style or thru GPO (mad
I know). Now I have worked out that when you map a drive it creates an entry
in HKCU\Network, but importing this key doesn't map the drive, unless you
log out and back in again, which obviously is a non-starter as they will
unload the Reg keys at logoff.

 

Is there any way of doing this or (hopefully) can I tell him it will have to
be done via GPO?

 

TIA,

 

 

 

JR
