Turn on local drive mapping features for a client

Turn on local drive mapping features for a client

Terminal Server clients cannot map local drives under a TS session. Could you please give me a clue how to turn on the local drive mapping features for a client? TS is running on a Windows 2003 Server (RDP5.2) but it's not the Domain Server.

To use drive mapping with RDP, you'll need to make sure that you're using the Remote Desktop Client and enable it on the client computers--it's shut off by default. To enable drive mapping, click the Options button on the main dialog box of the client and turn to the Local Resources tab.
