Mapping a usb external drive on a server (windows 2003)?

Periodically, I have to install software and most of the sites have pcs in


the server room instead of under the desks. How do I map to the external hard


drive I have attached to the server so I can install the software on each pc?


The way I map to the c drive of the server is by entering the ip address and


then \c$ but I need to be able to map to the external drive letter as well.


Please advise. Thank you. Workgroups to do not apply here.

If you have the external drive connected to the server it will get a drive letter assigned by the server. You can then share the drive to the network so the pc's can see the drive and install the programs from the shared external drive connected to and shared through the server.
