ShortCut to a folder on a different domain through TS.

[Guest luv2bike2]

I am not sure if this is where i need to place this question, if it is not

the correct place can someone point me in the right direction so that i can

place it in the correct forum. Thanks!

 

issue:

i have a user that is located at a different location (different office,

different state, on a different domain) that connects to my office (different

domain) through Remote Desktop to my Terminal Server where he can access my

other servers. At one point my user had a shortcut on his Local computer to

a folder on one of my servers. he has since had his local computer replaced

and the shortcut is no longer there. i was not the one who set up the

shortcut on his local desktop so i do not know what needs to be done so that

he can get this shortcut back.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Re: ShortCut to a folder on a different domain through TS.

 

hmmm, that sounds odd. The only way I can think of doing that off the top

of my head is to create an RDP file for that user and in the Programs area

specify explorer.exe as the program to run with the appropriate switches to

show the particular folder he was trying to access.

 

I would dig into this more as this would be somewhat out of the ordinary

for terminal services to do as TS has no way of creating such a shortcut

directly to your internal terminal services.

 

now saying that, unless you've specifically locked out your firewall

properly, you potentially could be allowing direct traffic to your internal

network and they figured out a way to take advantage of that and map

directly to your servers. Are your servers directly exposed to the internet

or do the remote users need to vpn in first?
