Force TS Plus user to only see local drives

Post by MichaelH » Wed Apr 10, 2013 11:47 am

Hi

When customers connect to our server apps via a generated client and 'file save as' using excel or adobe the windows explorer window defaults to that users home folder on the servers C drive, does anyone know how to make this Windows explorer window to default to My computer so they only see their redirected/local pc drives? I have successfully hidden the C and D drives.

Thanks

Michael

Hello,

Once drive are hidden, you could create a logon script with notepad that does the following :

subst Z: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents

save this file to logon.bat and open a gpedit.msc to add this logon script to UserConfiguration/Windows Parameters/script/logon script

Doing so a letter Z will be mounted on each user session logon targeting the "my documents" folder of the user, and when opening an explorer you will only see the letter Z. If you create a shortcut of explorer.exe and edit the properties of this shortcut you can add Z: at the end of the target field to force an explorer to open directly into Z.

Hope this helps.
