  3. Choose the Drive Mappings tab.

Notes

  • You can use the same process to manage multiple computers.  Use the All Computers list to select all of the computers whose drive mapping you want to edit. (You can filter the list to easily find the required computers.) Any changes you make will apply to all of the selected computers. You cannot edit a drive mapping that is not common to all the selected computers. If you want to overwrite a drive mapping for a particular drive letter, you must delete all instances of that drive letter from the computers before creating the new drive mapping.

  • You cannot edit drive mappings which have been assigned at location level. For information on how to do this, see Locations Help.

  • Once you have made any changes to a computer's properties, the computer must be restarted for the new settings to take effect.

  • Computer properties are also available by selecting the computer and choosing Picture of the Properties button in the toolbar, or from the File menu choosing Properties.
