SunFSD can be enabled in server installations if necessary by the Server Administrator account only. Disable SunFSD when you are finished performing the maintenance tasks described below.
To enable SunFSD mapping, as the Server Administrator, do the following:
●Double-click the fsdon.reg Registry file located at:
C:\sun\sunfsd\fsdon.reg
This can only be done using the Server Administrator account. Any server client (or
Once SunFSD is enabled, all subsequent mappings and references using the \\localhost prefix will succeed. Additionally, after rebooting the server, SunFSD remains enabled. Further, any mappings made after enabling SunFSD, after logging off, or after rebooting the system, are reconnected upon logging on to the system (if configured to be reconnected).
Caution – Once SunFSD is enabled by the administrator, all server clients and programs can map or access Solaris directories and files, using the security privileges of the process that launched the SunPCi software.
Caution – Once SunFSD is disabled by the administrator, you can still browse the unmapped drives. Only after you have unmapped the drives and rebooted will the drives then be disabled, although you still have to physically unmap the drives in Windows Explorer.
▼How to Disable SunFSD Mapping
To disable SunFSD mapping, as the Server Administrator, do the following:
●Double-click the fsdoff.reg Registry file located at:
C:\sun\sunfsd\fsdoff.reg
Once SunFSD mapping is disabled, all subsequent mappings and references using the \\localhost prefix fail. Additionally, after rebooting the server, SunFSD mapping remains disabled. So, if for example, there were any successful SunFSD directory mappings prior to disabling SunFSD mapping, after the system is rebooted such mappings are no longer available.
