i have a win2k3 server running citrix metaframe XP. the server is locked down fairly well.
But the problem i am having is that once the users connect to citrix they can not save to their local workstatons.
i want to lock down the server and deny access to access any drive on the server but i want them to be able to save to their local machine.
I enabled loopback policy. and enabled the following policies :

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer
Remove Map Network Drive and Disconnect Network Drive
Remove Search button from Windows Explorer
Disable Windows Explorer's default context menu
Hides the Manage item on the Windows Explorer context menu
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to drives from My Computer
Hide Hardware Tab

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Task Scheduler
Prevent Task Run or End
Disable New Task Creation

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu & Taskbar
Disable and remove links to Windows Update
Remove common program groups from Start Menu
Disable programs on Settings Menu
Remove Network & Dial-up Connections from Start Menu
Remove Search menu from Start Menu
Remove Help menu from Start Menu
Remove Run menu from Start Menu
Add Logoff to Start Menu
Disable and remove the Shut Down command
Disable changes to Taskbar and Start Menu Settings

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop
Hide My Network Places icon on desktop
Prohibit user from changing My Documents path

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel
Disable Control Panel

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System
Disable the command prompt (Set Disable Scripts to No)
Disable registry editing tools

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon / Logoff
Disable Task Manager
Disable Lock Computer

Is one of these the problem ? If not where can i check or change to allow users to save to their own machine ?
 
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer
Remove Map Network Drive and Disconnect Network Drive
Remove Search button from Windows Explorer
Disable Windows Explorer's default context menu
Hides the Manage item on the Windows Explorer context menu
Hide these specified drives in My Computer X
Prevent access to drives from My Computer X
Hide Hardware Tab

The ones marked X may cause a problem.

Also in mfconfig ther are settings to say whether client drives can be mapped.
