Virtual Machine Server 2003

Question

I installed some software on my server. It needs an X: drive creating where data files will be stored.

The X: drive points to the C: drive which is where the Terminal Server users will access the software. I created a D: drive with enough space to handle the data, but I don't know how to make the link between the C: drive, the X: drive and the D: drive.

Any advice?

Answer 1

You can use the subst (substitute) command to do this:

subst X: c:\Real\Path\To\Data\Files

To remove the mapping use /D:

subst /D X:

(You could also share the folder and map it to X: as a network drive, but that's a lot more overhead that you don't really need in this case.)
