I have problem in controlling which devices are allowed to be enabled and
disabled by users on Remote Desktop Tab of TS Web Access.

I have set "true" to XClipboard and xDriverRedirection, and "false" to other
redirection options in Application Settings of ts website. But the ts web
page does not honor such changes (Printers option is still enabled and Drives
option is disabled). Any one knows the fix? Thanks.

Are you also going thru TS Gateway, or another SSL Gateway? If not, then
users can easily bypass whatever settings you define on TSweb, as they can
connect directly with any RDP client, using whatever settings they want.

Please provide more information about your environment.

Yes, it is thru TS gateway. I have used group policy to diable certain
redirections. but i would like that users has ability to choose enabling or
disabling drives redirection and clipboard on the web page. However, in my
situation, clipboard is fine since the option is available (black color) by
default, but users cannot enable drives redirection since that option is
diabled (grey color). It is supposed that i can configure them in ts's
application settings in iis. But the settings are not honored somehow.

The TS CAPs on the TS Gateway have a device redirection setting and I guess
that has been disabled in your TS CAP. Please check if the TS CAP device
redirection settings are proeprly configured.

On NAP TS Gateway network policies, TSG-Device-Redirection is set to 22,
which leaves drives and clipboard open. I guess ts cap is not the cause.
