tsclient folder empty despite selecting local drives when connecting to Azure Windows Server 2019 via RDP

Question

I used to be able to see local drives using RDP when connecting to an Azure Windows Server 2019. I have tried to respond to the Azure Security Centre's issues by changing local policy, and now I can no longer see my local drives on the remote server despite selecting them in the RDP client. The various tools described in previous posts no longer exist on Windows Server 2019.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

@Carl Fan Thanks for trying, but sorry, the answer doesn't help as the linked article refers to Windows Server 2008.

1. The article does not refer to Windows Server 2019, which seems to have different settings; the ones in the article appear not to exist. I haven't found the Windows Server 2019 equivalent.
2. The article mentions Group Policy, but not which Group Policy applies, and there are lots of them! This seems to be a common fault of instructions in this area - the person writing them forgets that not everyone is familiar with them.
3. \tsclient is empty.

Answer 2

Hi,
Have you checked the MSTSC properties (Show options > Local Resources tab > Local devices and resources > "More" button > Drives?
Then you could check the group policy provided under the link below:

Also if we run below could see the local drives.
start>run
\tsclient\c
Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
Best Regards,
Carl
