Map Floppy Drive

[Guest]

Hello,

Using Remote desktop Client on XP Pro to connect to Windows 2003
terminal server, is it possible to map floppy drive ONLY? i know the
option under "Local Resources" in RDP which allows me to connect all
local Disk Drives on to remote machines. but i dont want my users to
connect their respective HDD and DVD roms to the remote server and
start playing with it by copying large files and killing the
bandwidth. instead i only want them to copy documents from the floppy
drives in case they need to.

Thanks in advance.


Warm Regards

Add these to the end of your logon script

NET USE \\tsclient\C /DELETE
NET USE \\tsclient\D /DELETE
....

I also have this problem.

The problem is that the net us e "\\tsclient\C /DELETE" doesn't work. It
says that it has been disconnected and if I run "net use" it's not listed.
But if I open "My Computer" it's still there and works.

I suppose if you need more granular control over such things you'll have to
look at products like Citrix MetaFrame (or similar products), or possibly
triCerat Simplify Desktop (or other lockdown programs). We use Citrix and
with one click I can accomplish what you're struggling with. I realize the
expense to purchase programs like this is quite a bit, but the benefits
usually make up for the initial investment.

Ok. At least now I know it's not possible to do with the default terminal
server software.
