Can't use B drive for home drives

[Guest]

Having a problem with Hyena 5.2 (was same in 5.0, 4.7 etc).

For reasons too long-winded to list, I need to use the value "B:" in the "Connect" field when mapping a home drive. User Manager will let me type this manually, but Hyena will not let me use it at all.

Additionally, if I click on the "Profile" tab of a user's properties (even if I don't make changes) I can't click OK until I change the drive to another letter.

Can anyone help?

This is a rather unusual situation. We can change Hyena to allow an A: or B: as a drive letter, but only on NT systems, as this is not allowed on Windows 2000 (or I could not get it to work). On W2K the drive letter combo box cannot be changed, and any account with a letter before C: will show a blank for the drive.

Let me know if you want a patch to address this issue.

Thanks

Yes Please!!!!

It's for NT4 systems - once we get to Windows 2000 it won't be an issue!

This feature will be in the next patch of Hyena, but in the meantime if you want an interim patch, download:

Let me know how it works for you.

Thanks

kstanush (whatever your name is !),

Now that is what I call AMAZING service. I was skeptical when you said "Let me know if you want a patch", but WOW. What can I say.

The patch works a treat. Thanks a million.

I wish it was as easy to convince the boss to upgrade the licenses to Enterprise... (they don't have Exchange or Terminal Server at Corp HQ)

Thanks again,

A very satisfied Sam.

Further Update - This works for me on Windows 2000 Pro & Server and 2003 server.

Thanks again,
