I am running Metaframe XP in an NT environment. I have a user that needs to login to the Citrix Desktop. Is there a way to lock down the user from mapping to the local drive of the Citrix server?? Also, is it possible for me to hide the windows shutdown on her Start menu? I would not want to run the risk of the user shutting down the Citrix Server by accident..

Thanks Guys..

well, i took care of the Shutdown button through Group Policy (we have a 2003 AD domain), but i used a book by Todd W Mathers titled Windows NT/2000 Thin Client Solutions to guide me and he has references to poledit that might help in you NT environment.

unfortunately, i'm having mixed and unsucessful results for hiding the local server drives. we're on PS4 and i've used Group Policy, registry settings, HideCalc (read about in this group), and Citrix policies but am not having much luck there.
 
You can use GPO to hide/prevent access to the local drives here:

User config/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Explorer

"Hide these specified drives in My Computer" and
"Prevent access to drives from My Computer"

If you want to hide the M and/or N drive, you have to modify the system.adm file. After you do this, the M and N drive will show up as hideable drive letters in the GPO. Details on how to do this here:


I have done this on my Citrix servers, and it works great.

Oops... just read your post again and realized you're on an NT domain, so my post probably won't be of any help.
