Can't Block/Hide Particular Drive with GPO


Recommended Posts

Dear All,

 

I've setup up a custom ADM to block all drives on a system, except the Z

drive which is mapped to a folder for the person to be able to save out...

 

All the Drives get blocked, except the E drive (well the Z drive is visible,

but that was intended)

 

I'm using the value of '01111111111111111111111111' or 33554431 decimal,

which is correct, right?

 

Why would the E Drive be visible in 'My Computer' ?

 

Regards

Paul.

Hello Kardon,

 

For what is E used? You are right with 33554431.

Hello Kardon,

 

Also tested a bit and we got the same symptom, that the D drive was visible,

but only in the left pane form the explorer window. In the right pane it

was like it should be.
