Hey folks,

Maybe this has been discussed to death, but I'm having some trouble getting this working how I want:

Internal connections get local drive mappings and their network drives...

External connection ONLY get network drives...

I remember reading that you filter the drive mapping policy on IP address (or client name?) but all my playing around isn't helping.  Can someone give me a quick example?

 

Cheers.

I use printing policies kind of the same way.  on my local lan, you get all your printers, when you come in from the outside world you only get your default printer.  the way i applied this was to ip addresses.  So I have the following:

Filter based on client IP address checked

Apply to all client IP addresses checked

Ok, so anyone coming from the outside world coming through my csg does not have an ip address of my local lan, so i have added all of my local subnets into this section but I have selected the DENY portion.  It's kind of reverse thinking.  I am applying this policy that says only map the default printer to every IP, so when i add in my local lan addresses with a DENY it does not apply to those subnets.

hope some of this made sense...it can be slightly confusing.

I think I'm pickin' up what you're throwin' down:

That's exactly what I'm trying to do - without adding unnessesary bits of the equation:  So I want folks with internal IP addresses to be able to map their drives; folks with external (or really ANY OTHER IP address) to only have their network drives mapped...

You wouldn't happen to have a screenshot of how you have your policy config'ed???

...you know what, I think I got it - it IS a little backwards thinking - but I think it will do. 

Does anybody know if I can accomplish the same thing by filtering by 'client name'; I remember something about using WI_* ...

Does the client name change based on internal vs external IP?  Sorry I'm probably asking real dumb questions, but I've been out of the Citrix game for about a year now and I'm trying to remember stuff!

As an FYI to everybody:  I got this working all nice in my production environment.  Internal connections have access to network drives and local pc drives, external connections get network drives only.
