Hi Mike,
You need to first share the A drive in your client before you can access it
in your terminal server.
1. Share the drive on the client computer that is to be mapped. For
example, to redirect drive A, start Windows Explorer, right-click Drive A,
click Sharing, and then click "Share this folder".
2. From the client computer, establish a session with the Terminal Services
server.
3. Open a Cmd.exe prompt and type the following syntax to map the drive:
"net use <driveletter>: \\<clientname>\<sharename> /persistent:yes"
(without the quotation marks)
where <driveletter> is the drive letter that you want to use for
redirection, and <sharename> is what the drive was shared out as on the
client computer. You need to run this command only once in the session.
After that, every time the connection is made, the drive is mapped.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection must be initiated before you
attempt drive redirection. Drive redirection does not work through an
Internet connection.
For more informaiton, please see:
272519 How to Redirect a Client Drive in Terminal Services
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=272519
Note: the Drive Share utility described in the article no longer works for
Windows Server 2003.
Hope this helps!
