For the security reason, i want to prevent local resource redirection in windows rdp connection.

Not in servers configuration, do using network layer for example firewall block it.

Windows 10 - Local Group Policy - Drive Redirection not working as expected

I have a unique situation attempting to disable drive redirection for mstsc. I am attempting to prevent local drive sharing when I remote to another PC.

My steps:

· Start gpedit.msc (local group policy editor)

· Navigate Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Device and Resource
Redirection

· Select “Do not allow drive redirection” and enable it.

I

The PCs is not domain joined and is running Windows 10.

The wording of the setting explicitly says "client" so this the behavior is not entirely unexpected, but the operation seems counter-intuitive to me. If session host is the PC on which I run mstsc, and the client is the PC to which I want to connect, and
I enable "do not allow drive redirection" on the client PC, then the session host drives are not visible when I connect. Disabling this setting (client), and reconnecting, will show the session host drive. So in reality this client PC setting is preventing
a session host from redirecting their drives to the client PC remote session. The counter-intuitive part is that I expected this option to affect local PC drive redirection, not remote drive redirection for other PCs connecting to me.

On the flip side, if I enable this setting (disallowing drive redirection) on the session host, and then initiate mstsc, the local session host drives are available for the session. (not what I want)

Is there a setting on the session host PC that will disallow the session host from using local session host drives in mstsc?

 

No audio over RDP, even with local resources set


Hi everyone.

I've upgrade 3 of my 4 W7 ultimate dekstops to W10 Pro, and so far 2 of my 6 laptops.

For the most part I'm quite happy, but I have a particular problem with RDP to one of the machines. Although in local resources I've selected local audio, when I connect I have no audio. Playback devices tells me there are no audio devices installed.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Any guesses as to the cause and how to solve?

 

RDP from Win 10 (local) to Win 7 pro (Remote) local printer is printing smudged.

Problem is that the printer is working correctly and prints fine when the user is using local applications.

It is only when using redirected printing via RDP that the print output becomes smudged, so there is no issue with the local printer.

Cheers
