Remote App question

[dezt]

I've got my remote apps running through our HAP+ installation now, they all seem to be good. I just have 1 little problem. When a user loads up Word, or any other app, and they click on open to open a document they can only see the servers local drives, so c and d. They can't get to their user area.

 

Is there a way of hiding the c and d drive on the server and showing the users home area?

This is probably to do with remoteApp policies. RemoteApp just starts a user session on an RDP server then pipes those app windows through. To hide the drives you'll want to apply a policy to the TS users that hides the drives, you may need to use loopback policies or something if this is not applied to your users usually.

Thanks for that, that's the 2 drives hidden from view. Where do I enable the client's c drive to be mapped to their session, I think I turned it off by mistake and can't remember where to re-enable it.

Under terminal services configuration in the TS manager I think, local storage redirection, its in the same place as printer/audio/usb redirection. There may be GPOs to configure it too but I have usually done it manually as we only have one per site.

Is that on 2003? I can't see terminal services configuration on 2008 r2 (should have mentioned i was running that earlier)

My bad, I don't mess with the TS stuff much, more set and forget here. I just looked and found it in 2008 R1
