Remove Mapped drive options from File explorer (GPO)

FI_Post_Win11

In this post I will show how you can remove the mapped drive options from within File Explorer. This is a Group Policy setting that we can apply to prevent users accessing these features.

Create a GPO & apply it to the OU containing your user objects.
Edit the GPO & navigate to the following location:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer

Policy: Remove “Map Network Drive” and “Disconnect Network Drive”
Action: Enable

At this point, run a gpupdate /force on your workstation & reboot for the policy to apply.
