Special Drive Mapping Logic

NOTE: Don't enable this setting unless you need this specific functionality.

Enable this setting to activate a special drive mapping logic that can solve drive mapping issues in certain scenarios. The most common scenario is when users are local administrator and User Account Control (UAC) has been enabled. In this case a user has a split security token and drive mappings will not show up in Explorer. Enabling this setting solves this issue.
NOTE: This setting is only supported on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with Dynamic Environment Manager 9.2.2. The setting has no effect on other Windows versions, and the underlying problem has been addressed in Dynamic Environment Manager 9.3.

'Enabled always' is required if users can have multiple concurrent settings on the same host.
NOTE: This is only supported on Dynamic Environment Manager 9.2.2, 9.8, and later versions.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 with SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1. VMware User Environment Manager 9.2.2 or 9.8.
