Disable local server resourcces

Hi,

we're on the way to switch from citrix to ras.
On citrix I used a registry-key to disable all local drives for every user.
Is there a easier way in ras?
We're running a erp software and the users itself shouldn't have any access outside their own networkdrive.

Also just a noobie question.
If I add a new user, I have to do that in AD manually?
Also setting the AD-group?
Or is there a easier way through ras directly?
Cause I'm able to send a mail from ras, I thaught the user could be added to AD automatically.

Regards and keep healthy
Philipp

 

Hi Philipp,

I guess you just want to hide the drives from the users so that only network drives are visible and restrict access right?

I am not aware of RAS providing such functionality. We use group policies for that.

Here are a few links on the topic:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...ng-group-policy-objects-hide-specified-drives
https://www.itingredients.com/how-to-hide-drives-using-group-policy-in-windows-server-2012-r2/

New users cannot be set up via RAS. This is still done via the Active Directory. To simplify the process, I wrote a PowerShell script that creates users and adds them to the groups. If necessary, it can also be used to send invitations. For this I used the RASAdmin PowerShell module. I don't think the Parallels RAS REST API offers this functionality yet.

Parallels RAS REST API:

I hope this helps.

Best regards
