Mapped Drives
0 vote
When I connect to my Hyper-V Host, I see all of my local drives inside of the host. In Microsoft Remote Desktop, you can uncheck Drives under the Local Resources tab. How do I disable it in Remote Desktop Manager?

Hello,
you can set this in the RDP session properties (Local Resources tab). More infos about you'll find here

Sorry, should have mentioned - this is a Microsoft Hyper-V session in RDM, not a Microsoft Remote Desktop session.
The reason I added it as a Hyper-V session is because it looks like with just this one icon you get the best of both worlds - a complete list of every VM on that host (and the ability to connect to any of them) as well as the ability to remote directly into the host.
When you edit the properties of the Hyper-V session, there's not nearly as many options. So, no option to control drive mapping, etc.
Here's a screen shot ...
Hello,
Unfortunately, as you mentioned, this is not supported at the moment. For this reason, this topic has been moved to the Feature Request section of our forum.

Greetings,
We were just brought on board with using the RDM Enterprise Edition instead of the Free Edition. As part of that, all of our remote sessions are what they call "API Connections". For these connections there is no "Local Resources" tab for me to uncheck "Hard drives".
The people in charge has enabled "Mapping Local Drives" Globally for everyone (using a GPO) and claim this is because it is not possible to access the Clipboard without mapping all your workstation drives as well when using API connections.
Is this really the case?
Many thanks,
Jennifer
Hello,
I fear that this is not related. The map network drive and the Clipboard are two different features and you should not be forced to enable the Mapping Local drives" globally to be able to use the Clipboard.
