How to allow local drive mapping when using SBS 2008 RWW

June 3rd, 2010

Ever noticed how you cannot take local drives through with you when using the Remote Web Workplace (RWW) in Small Business Server (SBS) 2008? well follow these instructions and you can!

  1. Log onto the Small Business Server as Domain Admin
  2. First make a backup fo this file:
    • “C:\program files\windows small business server\bin\webapp\remote\tsweb.aspx”
  3. Open Notepad as Administrator (right-click, run as administrator)
  4. Select file => open and open the following file:
    • “C:\program files\windows small business server\bin\webapp\remote\tsweb.aspx”
  5. Once opened search for this line:
    • MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = FALSE
  6. You now need to modify this line so it says:
    • MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = TRUE
  7. Now Save the notepad and close
  8. Finally log back into the Remote Web Workplace from any PC and the drive option will be available to be ticked!!
