This is my scenario:

I have users that need to be able to log onto the domain remotely but not
able to access any of the resources on the Terminal Server they are connected
to, or another file server. To this end I have done the following:

- Created a custom GPO which removes the My Network Places from the desktop,
and denies the ability to browse the network (Expanding Entire Network ->
Microsoft Windows Network and such)

- Created a group with Deny Full Control to the C: Drive and added a test user

My boss would prefer that the shares not be seen if some savvy user figured
out the name of the file server and did the UNC (\\servername). I know that
you can add a $ to hide the shares, but this will make it for regular users
to browse the shared folders they need to access. Is there a way to deny a
user the ability to use the UNC convention?

Thanks,

Anthony May

Create a Security Group for your TS Users, then deny that group access to
your Shares.

If you do this, you might not have to do all the other stuff you did because
even if they have access to various network tools they'll still be denied
access to resources.
