Disable copying on Desktop on terminal server

[Guest Vikas Jain]

Hi,

 

We have a Windows 2003 terminal server which we are using for Citrix

application. We want to restrict the users so that they can not save any file

on their desktop.

Users should get a warning message if they try to save anything on their

desktop

Please suggest if anybody has done this before.

 

Thanks

Vikas

Create a Group Policy with Folder redirection and redirect the

users to a custom desktop folder, which you make read-only (through

NTFS permissions).

 

You find folder redirection policy settings here:

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Folder Redirection

 

and since these are User Configuration settings, you'll want to use

loopback processing of the GPO. Then link the GPO to the OU which

contains the Terminal Server computer account, *not* the user

accounts.

 

Loopback processing setting is here:

 

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Group

Policy

"User Group Policy loopback processing mode" - "Replace"
