For best practices, Citrix recommends that you install all applications on the primary system drive. By packaging and executing using the primary system drive, you define a set of criteria that best associates a given target with a given user device. The system drive letter must be a match between the target and the user device drive for a target to be the correct match for executing an application. There is no provision for the system drive to be variable. The system drive used on the profiler workstation must match the system drive on the user device. To support user […]

Dynamic client drive mapping enables virtual desktops to access mass storage devices, such as USB flash drives, configured on the endpoint. The virtual(not local) desktop is responsible for controlling USB drives and displaying them in the user interface. When a USB drive is connected to an endpoint, it is automatically mounted and freely accessible. For any given USB drive, the same drive letter is used by both the virtual and the local desktop as long as the virtual and local drive letters do not conflict. Note: USB drives accessed using dynamic client drive mapping are treated as network drives. For […]

By default, the drives on the client system are mapped automatically to drive letters on the server when users log on. The client’s disk drives appear as shared folders with mapped drive letters. These drives are used by Windows Explorer and other applications like any other network drive. In general, XenApp tries to match the client drives to the client drive letters; for example, the client device’s first floppy disk drive to A, the second floppy disk drive to B, the first hard disk partition to C, and so forth. This allows the user to access client drive letters in […]
