Hide local drives in Termianl Server

[Eric H]

Hi,

Is their way in GPO to hide the local drives on a 2000 server running
in TS application mode? We use Citrix on top of the TS and we have
the office suite installed and deployed. My users have a habit of
saving items in their local profiles rather than their network drives.
Or if you know of another solution to resolve this I am all ears.

Appreciate the help,

Eric H

I did it on a terminal server at my previous job, through a GPO.

It is definitely possible, however I don't really remember how I did it.
I think it is in Windows Explorer GPOs, prevent access to X:\ drive.
Then the user can't browse the X:\ drive anymore, but the other
applications can continue to access the drive...
