Can I map a drive on the remote client from within DRS?

Depends on exactly what you're trying to do, but the general answer is yes through the 'Shares View.'

The DameWare Remote Support Shares view allows you to view, create, delete, and modify shares on a remote system. Use the tree view on the left to browse files and folders on the remote system.

Use the mini toolbar on the Shares view to perform any of the following tasks on the remote system:

• Add Share: Opens the Add Share dialog. Use the Browse option to dynamically establish a mapping to the drive on the remote system and specify the drive/path to share. 

  Note: The Share path must be a drive based path in reference to the system on which you are creating the share.

• Delete Share:  Deletes the selected share. If a user is connected to the share, DRS displays a warning that deleting the share might result in data loss.
• Share Sessions:  Opens the Share Sessions dialog. This dialog displays the share information along with a line entry for each user that has a session to this share. The dialog displays the User, Computer, Connected Since, Idle Time, Open Files and Guest fields related to each user session. Use this dialog to disconnect a user's session to the share or retrieve file details related to a specific user session.
• Share Properties:  Opens the Share Properties dialog. Use this dialog to enable or disable the share, modify the share comment, modify the user limit, and modify the permissions associated with the share.
• Set Default Shares: Creates the default administrative shares on the remote system. These include the Administrator Share (ADMIN$), Drive Shares (such as C$, D$) and Print Share (print$).
