RDP

Add Local Printer for use with RDP.

While at end user workstations, I am often asked various questions on how to resolve various remote access issues. For example, how can I print to my home printer, while remotely connected to my PC at work.



These instructions should help in accessing a printer connected locally, when remoted into another machine.

  1. Connect the printer to the laptop (via network or locally). Make sure you can print to the device normally.
  2. Open remote connection to your workstation in the office.

    Complete the following steps on our remote computer.

Map All Remote Drives

This short script will map a drive letter to all the admin shares to a remote computer. My plan was to use this script when I use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to access a computer from home. I will run this script and map all my home computer hard drives to the work computer. Now I can transfer files between the two locations, without using tricks like emailing the file to myself.
