Remote Desktop - Local Resources - Drives
Can users connecting to Server 2016 be restricted from connecting their local drives to their server session? I'm guessing maybe in Group Policy?
- Aug 08, 2022Hello,
Edit a GPO then browse Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Device and Resource Redirection -> Do not allow drive redirection.
Of course, be sure to test those changes before implementing them in your production environment.

Yep, you can block that with Group Policy. Just go to:
Computer Config > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection
Then enable "Do not allow drive redirection".
