Hi!

What is the recommended way to allow TS Users access Excel and Word files on
their computer that they are storing on Terminal Server?

I don't want to allow them to access their local drives on terminal server
because of viruses they may have in them.

Thanks!

 

A home directory on a network share, which they use both within a TS
session and on their local workstation.
You can redirect both "My Documents" folders to this share.

.....and to the OP, don't store any data on the TS box. .Redirect to a file
server ...the same one your desktop users use.

That doesn't matter. You should still have a separate file server.<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
