  • Accessing the resource ‘\\servername’ has been disallowed

    On a remote desktop server I got the message: Accessing the resource ‘\\servername’ has been disallowed when trying to access \\servername from file explorer. The GPO setting that caused this was: User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar/Remove Run menu from Start Menu. When i disabled this setting the users could access servers from file explorer.
