SYMPTOMS
When you enable the &quot;Remove 'Map Network Drive' and 'Disconnect Network Drive'&quot; Group Policy setting in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, users who connect to the server through a Terminal Services session may still be able to map a network drive. The Map Network Drive dialog box is displayed when a user clicks Network in the Print to File dialog box of some programs. For example, users can still map a network drive if they connect to the server through a Terminal Services session from a client computer and then follow these steps:
 * 1) Start a program, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. On the Help menu, click Contents and Index.
 * 2) On the Options menu, click Print, click the option to print the topics that you want, and then click OK.
 * 3) In the Print dialog box, click to select the Print to file check box, and then click Print.
 * 4) In the Print to File dialog box, click Network.

The Map Network Drive dialog box is displayed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the OFN_NONETWORKBUTTON flag is not set correctly. In this scenario, the Network button is available as an option in the Print to File dialog box.
