I know that Windows 2003 terminal server support Client Resource
Redirection, but
I only need to configure some user to redirection its resoure such local
driver but other
user can't redirection. how can I to do this job

I used the Windows XP RDP Client tools to connect terminal server
 
Sure, you can configure this on a user-by-user basis:

On the Terminal Server, go to Administrative Tools - Terminal Server
Configuration - rdp-tcp connection - properties - Client Settings -
Connection.
Verify that "Use connection settings from user settings" is enabled.

Then go to the user account properties - Environment - Client devices
Enable drive and printer redirection for those user who need it,
disable for the others.
 
That's the way it SHOULD work, but microsoft didn't implement
this feature. Drive redirection is an all users or none proposition,
except for the fact that it can be disabled on the client side in the
connection properties.

What I have done is delete the redirected drives for users
that are not members of the "Enable Drive Redirection" group in
the logon script.

It is a bit more complicated than necessary, because you have
to delete the network connection and also remove the namespaces
from the registry so that they do not display in explorer.

Take at look at microsoft's explaination:

Ooops!
Thanks for pointing this out, TP!
You've clearly revealed that I am running Citrix, and failed to
test this on a system with plain TS. I should have known better.
 
Dear TP,
could you tell me detail how to do that
"It is a bit more complicated than necessary, because you have

Thank you.
