Showing Shares as Mapped drives - Terminal Server

[JoeF1]

Hi guys.

I have had to put a program which runs off a SQL database on a terminal server (2003) and the program needs to access a Share which is on the D: drive.

Whoever has build this 2003 server years ago has put full restrictions on it so the program cannot see the D drive to access the DB. I have added the user to the administrator group but i still cannot see my computer etc.

I would like to have this folder accessible by just the one logon and not to everyone who uses the TS. Is this possible?

I have looked online and found ways to get around it on Local Group policy. BUt its asking me to find windows explorer folder which just isnt there when logged on the local admin account!

Any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like you'd need to create a new OU in AD and place user in that OU.

Create a new GPO which disables any restriction to access any drives, this can be found;

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > File Explorer > Prevent access to drives from My Computer

Then link that GPO to the OU you created in AD.
