Citrix XenApp: Automate Conflict Free Drive Mapping

In XenApp user session, Citrix maps all of user local and network drives as network/shared drives in XenApp user session. Below are the various things that can count in to drive mappings and possible conflicts:

  • User Local Drives
  • User Network Drives
  • User Home Drive from AD attributes during Citrix XenApp user logon process
  • XenApp published application/automation/Scripts that needs to map a folder as drive

While there are so many sources that can make XenServer to map user computer drives.  You can control whether or not to allow user local/network drives to be mapped in XenServer user session. However, there isn’t an option to have any drive letter be reserved for your automation to work conflict free.

 

In such a case, your automation may fail to map a new drive due to drive letter being in-use (conflict).  The only option out here is to setup drive letter availability within your automation.
