I have a dual quad core processers in a 64 bit server, with 12 gig of ram,
running Windows 2003 Standard R2 setup. It is setup as a Terminal Services
server supporting 26 older PIII workstations converted to work as Thin
Clients.
I've installed Office 2007 and all works fine except that you cannot save to
a flash drive plugged into the USB ports. All other software can save to the
flash drive.
The version of RDP is
Remote Desktop Connection
Shell Version 6.0 (Build Number 6000)
Control Version 6.0.6000
The contractor that setup this has been in touch with Microsoft and they
gave him a patch to install.....I have know information other then after the
installation it did nothing.
One more fact is that on a 32bit system it seems to work fine. Again I'm
getting this information from a contractor.
 
Re: Saving to USB flash drive from Office 2007 using thin client setup

Sounds like the contractor installed this hotfix:

936970 - Error message when you work in a Terminal Services session
and save a document in a 2007 Office program to a redirected drive:
"There has been a network or file permission error"
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=936970

If the hotfix doesn't work, you or the contractor should contact
Microsoft again and open a support case. If the problem is caused
by a bug in a Microsoft product (and it is clear that it is in your
case), then Microsoft will not charge you for the support call.
