Create R: drive

I installed an application on an existing application
server at headquarters. Remote users located in another
state need to get to this new application as well as
headquarter users.

The application resides on a different server than our
newly created Terminal server. I want to map a drive on
the new Terminal server that points to the application
server were the application resides.

How do I login to the Terminal server at heaquarters and
create an R: drive mapping for the remote users? In other
words, I want the remote users logging in from a Terminal
Sever client to connect to the new application via an R:\
drive mapping/connection.


Any insight would be appretiated!

Create a logon script for your users and put in a line like

net use R: \\fileserver\application_share

Make sure that your users have sufficient permissions to this
share, both on the share level and the NTFS level.

Can you use a net use command in your login script?

Something like:

net use r: \\%server%\%share%

where %server% is the name of the server hosting the R
drive and %share% is the name of the share?
