STATUS_CTX_CDM_DISCONNECT

A redirected client drive channel disconnected

This status marks loss of the client drive mapping service inside a Remote Desktop session. Files opened through redirected paths can start failing even when server-side local storage remains healthy.

The cause can be a deliberate client setting change, virtual-channel teardown, network disconnect, session logoff, or a policy transition that stops exposing client file systems to the server session.

What to inspect

  • Identify whether the whole RDP session disconnected or only the drive-redirection virtual channel changed.
  • Check whether the failing path is a redirected drive rather than a server-local volume.
  • Review client and server redirection policy before treating it as a generic file system outage.
