How to provide users with isolated drive letters in Windows 2008 R2 (Terminal Server)
- by Pierre
I need to be able to host several RDP sessions on a Terminal Server, where users of group A see a drive X: mapped to a given folder of the server and another group B see the same drive letter X: mapped to another folder. For instance :
User 1, Group A X: --> C:\data\A
User 2, Group A X: --> C:\data\A
User 3, Group B X: --> C:\data\B
User 4, Group C X: --> C:\data\C
Is this possible. If so, how do I configure the virtual drive mapping so that the user has nothing special to do; i.e. I want the letter X: to be available to Remote Apps launched by the user, or if the user logs in to the remote desktop.
Can I somehow use subst to get this to work? I would like to avoid, if possible, mounting drive letters on local shares (i.e. I don't like the idea of having to go through \\localhost\data-A to reach the user's data).
