XP Pro to Win 2K server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

I am trying to use my drives remotely in a Remote Desktop Connection. I am
unable to see the drives. The microsoft documentation helpfully suggests
that the network policies might not allow it, of course it does NOT give any
hint where to look and what to set to allow this.

Anyone have any pointers where I might find this information?

If you have the W2K server setup as a Terminal Server you
can check the settings here:

Go to Control Panel, Administrative tools, Terminal
Services Configuration.

Right-Click on the connector (For example RDP-Tcp) and
Select Properties. Select the Tab labeled Client
Settings.
See if there is a check next to Use client settings or
not. If there is not then make sure there is a check
next to Connect Client Drives at logon.

Hope that helps.

What host OS are you connecting to?

Windows 2000 Server uses an older version of RDP which does not support this
functionality. There was a resource kit add-in which allowed for this as
long as you also used an older version of the client that went with it.

For most users with XP, if you have administrator permissions at the server,
a third-party product like AnalogX's TSDropCopy is the solution that works.
Alternatively, connect up via VPN and move the files that way--which is what
I find myself doing most of the time.
