Default Restricting Local Devices through Remote Desktop

Hi,

We currently use VPN and RDC to access our corporate servers via home so
that staff can work from home. However we have found out that you can access
the local drive of there pc, enabling them to move data from the servers to
the local pc, and vice versa. This poses not only as a security threat but
also a virus treat. Is there anyway in which we can disable the home user
from copying, moving or transending data between the rdc and the local
computer?

Regards

You can disable drive redirection through the use of group policies...
