Disabling Local Drive redirection in WVD
cwljack
I recognize this is a year old post and we're talking about a very different WVD now. but...
FWIW, I think using a GPO to override, or "fix", a setting that should work should be an unnecessary patch. i.e. why would they present the toggle if it doesn't do anything?
In my case, I found two things. First was I couldn't see the settings change in the properties. I had it set to disable drive mapping, but the 'advanced' properties page didn't show it. So I disabled it, saved, enabled it, saved and it appeared.
However, it still didn't work, and I ended up seeing display settings also not work. By not work I mean I didn't see a difference when I opened the RDP session. This got me thinking that it was kind of like the local mstsc properties were in control. That mstsc configuration is delivered by the feed in the RDP Client app.
Refreshing the feed in the remote desktop app got me my new settings, and the properties I'd configured are now in effect.
Kind of got to that embarrassing point of 'duh', but if you're forehead is as bruised as mine was, hopefully this little insight might help someone.
I've deployed Intune configuration policies to deny clipboard in/out of the RDP session and redirected folders to local drive - no matter if you are using the web browser or RDP client to access the Cloud PC.
Wish there was more documentation on it all...
