configure cascade disk redirection twice on rds deployment

Question

Hi,

I am setting up a RDS environment, and are publishing Reemote Desktop Connection as a Web app.

The scenario is as follow. User download the RDP web file from the RDWeb server,(this file they cannot edit), then it connects to server1.domain.local and automatically starts a new RDP session from this server to server2.domain.local. Now I need to mount the local disks from client1->server1->server2.... cascade disk redirection.

Is this possible ? if so, could someone tell the the correct steps, because i am not able to get it to work.

Thanks for any reply.

/R

Hello,

First of all, you should ensure your client is not a home edition so you can use group policy

1.In your domain, Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Device and Resource Redirection.

Find the policy named "Do not allow drive redirection".

Set this policy to "Disabled" to allow drive redirection.

Then you can apply to your server1 and all your clients.

2.Automation in server1(rdp to server2) should be deployed before. looks like:

@echo off

mstsc path\to\server2.rdp

3.Configure default rdp file in your client and server1. (add redirectdrives:i:1 in your rdp file)

Server1: configure rdp file directly

Clients: you can configure in rd web, save your default file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\RDWeb\rdp
