How can I add additional network drives for a PXE Boot?
What do I have to edit?

If you edit your PXE boot images, you will see where in the autoexec.bat file, that RDP goes out and "attaches" to the network and then map's the f: drive. You should be able to just add more "Net Use" commands there for different resources. Make sure the resources have the same rights for the account your using with RDP, or "Everyone" rights.

Benjamin,
Here's what I would do...
Go to Control Panel on the RDP server and you will see an Altiris express applet. Under the Options tab>Drive mappings you can specify additional UNC paths. Especially useful if you don't want to keep your images on the c: partition. So choose an additional drive letter and UNC path.
(i.e. G: and \\servername\sharename)

Then>>
Go to the Start>Programs>Altiris>Altiris>PXE Services>PXE config utility. You will see the Initial and the Managed Computer lines on the list of menu items. Highlight either one and click on Make Boot files.
When you get the next prompt, cancel out and then you will see (typically) the Initial pxe boot file and the Managed pxe boot files in a list.
Highlight the Initial pxe file, right click and Edit config. You will get a prompt that you're about to whack it...click ok.
Then go through and near the end where you see the F: and then the eXpress share, you can then pull down the "Drive Map" arrow, specify the G: drive and then duplicate the UNC path from earlier.
Once all that is done...DO NOT forget to right click the Initial pxe file and "Create PXE boot file" from the submenu.

I would also follow the same procedures for the Managed pxe boot file as well.
Good luck,
Ed Cox
