Shared Applications and Drive Mapping Problems

ID: Q153656

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The following problems may occur with shared applications and drive mappings:

When you use MSOFFICE as a shared application, more than one drive may be mapped to the MSAPPS and OFFICE shares.

Shared applications do not use existing connections to the appropriate shares. Drives mapped prior to going into Windows are not used and new drives are mapped for each application launched.

Not all of the connections are deleted after closing a shared application. Some are deleted within three minutes but others remain indefinitely.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
