Using RDP drive sharing in Win 2K

I’m trying to find a way to use drive sharing in Windows Server 2000
like it is usable in Windows Server 2003 (by bringing with the RDP
session, the drive letters I want).

I tried the DRMAPCLT “fix” provided by MS but it was not working as I
expected.

I cannot use third party software with a graphical interface to help
me transfer files between servers as I need to do it programmatically.

When I go to the “Terminal Services Configuration” MMC and open de
“RDP-Tcp” properties, on the “Client settings” tab I see the “Drive
mapping” greyed checkbox (it is also checked). Why is it greyed and
why can’t I use this drive mapping utility (working so well in Windows
Server 2003) ?

If there’s no fix or third party component that can do this, is there
a way we can install a more recent version of the Microsoft RDP server
side (client side already have a version recent enough to support it).

AFAIR, you need to set up a VPN to your host, then launch the RDP session
through this VPN.
