How to prevent mapped drives on local laptop from showing up in WVD Desktops

When I share a WVD Desktop, if my local laptop has a mapped network drive (for example, my home directory on the H: drive), it shows up in File Explorer on the WVD Desktop as "H on MyLaptopHostName"....

FortyMegabytes how did you configure the drivestoredirect property? You should be able to specify only the c: drive for example. Is that not working?

    DavidBelangerThe exact command I run is:

    Set-RdsHostPool -Tenant $tn -Name $hpn -CustomRdpProperty 'drivestoredirect:s:J:K:C:'


    It works for the C: drive, but *not* for the mapped network drives J: and K: drives.  I after looking at the online documentation for the 'drivestoreditect' property, it is only meant to be used for local hard disks, *not* locally-mapped network drives.

     

    So I'm trying to figure out how to prevent locally-mapped network drives from showing up on the WVD desktop.
