How to restrict device/driver sharing on TS

[Raghav]

Hi all,

I am new to "Terminal Services" (TS). I observed one behavior of TS
that if we connect a device to the Server, it is available for all
users on that server. For ex. if we connect a USB drive, drive will be
visible for all users. Is there any way to restrict this? i.e. the
device should be visible/accessible only for those users who have
installed the driver.

What I mean is, instead of a generic USB drive, we have some vendor
specific device connected to the server. I have my driver which woks
fine on XP, exports this device as mass storage to the OS. Now the
problem is, this drive should be available only for authorized users.
But I see this drive on all session. Is there a way to load my driver
for particular session only?

TIA,
Raghav

Hi, Raghav,

Drivers aren't loaded per session. What you need to do is configure drive
access permissions in the same way you would for any other drive on the
terminal server. You'll probably want to both hide and restrict access to
the drive for people who you don't want to use it.
