Terminal Server Users and just give them access to my documents folder on
their desktops?

Re: Hide Local Drives

Hi,

You can do this with group policy settings. Normally for a
TS you would do something similar to the following:

- Create a separate TS OU
- Move the TS computer account inside of the above OU
- Create a GPO and link it to the above OU
- Add a Deny Apply Group Policy entry for Domain Admins
to the above GPO
- Edit the above GPO
- Enable Loopback processing
- Enable Folder Redirection for App Data, My Documents,
Desktop, Start Menu as needed
- Enable various settings as needed to restrict and/or configure
the user experience

The specific settings you referred to are:

User Config\Admin Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer
Hide these specified drives from My Computer
Prevent access to drives from My Computer

There is tons of information available on technet and elsewhere
on the web regarding group policy settings. I recommend you
set up your server and then test the various settings to see their
effect before moving into production.
