This is an expected behavior. The simplest method to ensure XenApp is mapping local client drives for the RDP protocol to carry through on its connection is: When the published notepad is opened and you verify that it is sharing the same session as the published RDP, then in Notepad > File > Open, you must see the clients local drives to check for XenApp. Now it is up to Microsoft RDP protocol to carry the drives through when you use it to make a connection. Additionaly, a simple test to ensure RDP is allowing local drive redirection is to use the RDP client and connect directly to the server you are trying to connect to with the published RDP. If the drives fail to map again, this is a configuration issue on the Microsoft end and if this solution does not help to resolve the issue, contact Microsoft directly. CTX238200 - How to Troubleshoot Client Drive Mapping Device and Resource Redirection Let’s say you are working remotely on a Remote Desktop session and would like to access files saved on your local desktop or a USB flash drive. By default, it’s inaccessible but there is a setting in Remote Desktop Client that when it’s turned on all local drives, including USB drives, will be mapped to the Remote Desktop session automatically, acting as if a network mapped drive. Here is how you can do it. Launch Remote Desktop Connection, before hitting Connect button, click Show Options to bring up more options.  Go to Local Resources tab, and click More… button under Local devices and resources section. Check the Drives option if you want all local drives to be mapped to the Remote Desktop session. Or, click the little + icon to expand the Drives list and check the ones you want them to be mapped. Click OK and it’s ready to connect. The settings are automatically saved for next time, but you can also save it as a separated RDP connection shortcut if you have multiple Remote Desktop computers that need different settings. The Save options are in General tab. Now, let’s connect and see how it works out. As you can see, the highlighted drives are the local drives mapped on the Remote Desktop session. They work exactly like a network mapped drive.
It’s possible to access your local drives over a Remote Desktop Connection by enabling a setting which is disabled by default. First open the RDC client and click the Show Options button at the bottom. Go to the Local Resources tab and then the More… button in the Local devices and resources section: In the local devices and resources window, expand the Drives tree and select the local drives you would like to have access to. Now you can open a connection and access the drive like any other. Below is a screenshot of a local drive labeled C on ‘Computer Name’ in Windows Explorer. Category: Operating Systems, Windows
