Publishing My Computer on TS 2008 and seeing all of Network

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:48:25 Z

I am currrently trying to publish "My Computer" on a 2008 TS Server. I have GPO's setup to block everything on on the Window except for the "Network" portion. When a default user launches it, the view comes up the way I want it, but they can see the "Network" in the left pane and if they click on it, the window begins to populate all the servers and workstattions in the Domain. From there they can see shares, printers, etc. I have disabled Computer Browser Service, but the behavior continues.

Does anyone know how to disable this? I have gone throught the GPO's and can't find on that will restrict the Network icon in My Computer.

Any ides would be appreciated.

You can disable the "Client for Microsoft Network" in the properties of the NIC.
That will disable the service :-)

That did not work either. We are talking 2008 SE 32bit.

Any other ideas out there?

I really need some feedback on this issue as it it causing delays in the deployment of our published apps on W2k8.

You may want to direct your question to the Windows Explorer forum or the Group Policy forum. Take a look at this thread (Remove 'Network' access or 'Search Active Directory' button) to see if it helps:

In any case, the contents of the explorer window are not determined by TS, so I am moving this thread to the Group Policy forum.
