Free tool: CTXCOMMAP
Tuesday, 08 April 2008 by Michel Roth
Should have ever run into the requirement to map comports beyond COM9 in a Citrix session, then you will know that this can be quite a hassle. The guys over at Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy also noticed this and decided to create a small tool to deal with just that.

CTXCOMMAP is a command-line tool to enable a user to map serial ports beyond COM9: in a Citrix Server Session. This utility was written to respond to public requests to address the limitations of the NET USE command found in the MS Windows Operating System. NET USE is limited in being able to map COM ports beyond COM9:. In a Citrix Server environment, it is sometimes required to map ports greater than COM9:. This Utility was written to function in Citrix environments only.

Usage:

CTXCOMMAP local_device [remote_device] [/d] [/?]

local_device        The name of the local device that will appear

to the user.

     remote_device       The name of the remote share or device.

     /d                                             [Optional] Delete the local device.

     /?                  This help information.

CTXCOMMAP with no parameters displays currently connected network and serial port mappings.

E.G. CTXCOMMAP COM18: \\CLIENT\COM1:

This command will create a SESSION device COM18: within a Citrix Session session, which is mapped to a client device in COM1:.
