Hide UNC path in Drive Letter Mappings


Carls233

Recommended Posts

Using Group Policy Preferances drive mapping feature to map drives from a 2008 server to Vista clients and the drive maps ok, but I have a query. Is there a way to hide the full UNC path so that the user cannot see this? As this information always shows next to the driver letter.

the easiest way to hide it would be to setup a DFS replication and point the users to the DFS share

say you create contoso.corp as your dfs root

you can have your share on server1\software added to the DFS root

now you can point your users to contoso.corp\software, effectively masking the server and actual share

Thanks for this may have to look at DFS, I have got some VB script that hides the full UNC but the issue is running this with the GPP mapping feature. I am trying to remove all typical login scripts from the Domain and only use GPP mappings.
