If you use WinCE clients then you can do a similar thing, you map a drive from the thin client to \\client\u$ and the user sees the USB devices as folders, e.g. Harddisk2, harddisk3 etc.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
We have a citrix farm with multiple servers. Many of our customers like to use their local devices ( harddisks, usbpens ) etc. I know the shortcuts to theese when you are connected to citrix, are refreshed everytime you reconnect to the server. <br />
<br />
Is there any solution &nbsp;that can make the server refresh this more often? The best would be if it took minimal amounts of time before the local device popped up on &quot;My Computer&quot; located at the server.<br />
<br />
I've also found a possible solution, text following;<br />
<br />

&nbsp;<br />
1. Run DynamicUSB.EXE on the client workstation. It creates a system tray icon.<br />
2. Plug in a USB key. DynamicUSB creates a directory called C:\CitrixUSBStore\Drive_X where:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;&nbsp;X: is the USB drive letter assigned to the USB key by the client operating system<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;&nbsp;Drive_X is a link to X:\<br />
3. When you unplug the USB key, the utility deletes the directory Drive_X<br />
<br />
Wrote here to get a second opinion, if there was anything else to do ?

Refreshing local devices in Citrix

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
