Mapping local drives and printers

Hi,
If I am at home or in a hotel dialing into the company Terminal Server, Is it possible to map a drive letter to my physical computer/hard-drive where I am located in order to copy files from the server to it. Also, is it possible to print from my remote location? I know in Citrix you can do both of these, but a friend said it couldn't be done in Terminal Services. Any thoughts?

Mitch

The drive mapping thing is sorta an iffy question. It depends on where you are connecting to the Terminal Server I think (within the LAN netowkr, yes. outside the LAN, no).
You should be able to setup your terminal session to print to the local printer though. Of course, you have to work with the terminal server admin on this part because they can disable it (as well, the server has to have drivers for that particular printer).
Hope that helps, maybe someone can add some more......

You may be able to map a drive. It depends if you are authenticating to and reaching the domain.

Try using a net use command from a command prompt. Here is an example
(net use x: \\Servername\folder /user:domain\userid.) You will have to file in the path. The first user is just user. The userid should be yours.

I hope this helps.
