I have noticed something with Terminal Services and RDP that is concerning.

 

I am using a notebook on which I am just a normal user (I do not log on as administrator unless absolutely necessary).

I create an RDP connection to a WS2k3 terminal server and choose to make the notebook’s local disks available on the terminal server.

I can then browse through my notebook’s hard drive with impunity. I can access all files and folders to which I should not have any access at all, including the administrator profile. However, it does take very long to open these files/folders.

 

I am sure this is a known issue, I just haven’t read about it anywhere.

Does anyone know if there is a way to mitigate this other than setting group policy to not allow local disks to connect to the terminal server?
