Can I (client) disable redirected drives on Pulse Secure remote desktop?

0

I'm not an IT person at all.

When I login to my work remote desktop, how can I stop my home computer drives from appearing as "redirected drives" on my work computer?

Since lockdown began, my work requires me to remotely login to my work desktop. Our work IT Department gave us a url to login to, and we had to install Pulse Secure Terminal Services. I use my personal home computer to login. I just now noticed that the drives of my home computer (where I am) are appearing as Redirected Drives on my work computer (which I remotely logged into).

I do not want this.

I will of course ask my work IT people what they can do on their end, is there anything I can do on my end? I am worried about privacy in general, like if they have an offline cache of my home computer files. I had some personal papers on my home desktop, for example.

I am admin on my home computer. I am not admin on my work computer, nor am I part of IT at work. I can't access work gpedit.exe (nor should I, frankly).

I already tried to check Event Viewer > Applications and services logs > Microsoft > Windows > Folder Redirection, but the logs there show zero events.

I tried mstsc.exe > Show Options > Local Resources > and unchecking Printers and Clipboard and the Drives were already unchecked. I tried editing the Default.rdp in the Documents folder but it was blank.

I tried gpedit.exe > Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection > Do not allow drive redirection which I enabled. There is no such setting for the Client, only Host.

I tried adding the registry value HKLM\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Terminal Server Client\DisableDriveRedirection REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

No joy.

Thanks!
