Enable USB redirection on 2012 RDSH running on ESXi for thin client

What I have configured right now is Windows Server 2012 RDSH server installed on a ESXi 5.1 host.
I am going to be purchasing thin client machines that will need to use USB headphone/mic combo units.  I need to make sure that the USB redirection will work from the thin client to the RDSH RDP session.   I will NOT be using virtual machines
on the server, only a terminal session.  Please help me with the following points.
1.  Is windows 8 embeded my only option?
2.  Does RemoteFX support USB redirection on server 2012 RDSH?
3.  I have not been able to find an applicable guide to help me with what I am doing.
Thank you

Hi,
After referring your post, I can understand that you are looking for RemoteFX USB redirection on server 2012. Yes, server 2012 support RemoteFX USB redirection and can able to use the benefit of server. Here providing you the related article for configuration,

  • What files do I need to download iPhone photos to a thin client (HP)? Apple Mobile Support gives 4 dll files to enable the iPhone to be detected and charged but the thin client doesn't see the camera or hard drive.

    The iTunes Installation files include 4 driver dlls that I can install on a Windows thin client to enable the iPhone to be charged.
    The iPhone hard drive or photos are not detected.  I guess I need scanner driver support to cope with the camera.
    Can anyone tell me which files from the iTune installation set are needed.
    It is not practical (or even possible?) to install the whole iTunes package.
    I've seen this question asked by a lot of people but never seen an answer. 
    Please, can someone help... 

    Thanks for the reply. 
    A thin client is used to connect to a Terminal Server, or in my customer's case, a Citrix Server.  I need the thin client to see the iPhone as a camera and pass it to the Citrix Client so the photos can THEN be either stored on a network storage device, or e-mailed.
    Because the thin client doesn't even SEE a camera (i.e. the iPhone) it won't be able to connect to iCloud to do anything useful. 
    I think the question I should be asking, is how do I give the thin client Camera Support.
    I've just seen a 2008 forum comment that said the iPhone DOESN'T handle photos through iTunes, but the PC (Scanner support) or MAC (iPhoto) handles them directly.  I should be putting the question to HP.
    This is still a good place for THIS question, because I've seen so many iPhone users asking it...
    If I get a satisfactory answer I'll post it back here.

  • Calling report from forms while running the application from thin clients

    I am using thin client technology with 64MB RAM for running developer 6i application.
    The server has windows 2000 advanced server with 256 MB RAM.
    When I run the apllication from a single client, it works fine even for multiple windows.
    But the moment I switch on more thin clients, the client which fired the printing job first works fine, while the others allow data entry using forms but any call to report for direct printing throws an illegal condition error. I have tried both run_product and host option for running reports. The error returned is the same.
    Howver if the report is run from command prompt simultaneously from both the clients it works fine.
    Immediate help required in this case
    chandandeep

    Hi,
    you better off using Run_Report_Object() instead of Run_Product(). There is a Whitepaper available on otn.oracle.com/products/forms that details this. The problem that you run into is that Forms Services(thin clients) are multi user environments while Reports called via Run_Product() is a single user environment. This means that the Reports Runtime does not handle Reports requests in parallel but sequential one at a time. The first user blocks the runtime engines and all other hang for this time.

    Does anyone know if it is a known issue that Running reports in EP 6 might not work in thin clients?

    This had nothing to do with thin clients it was a trusted sites issue.

  • Windows 7 (Ent) Sp1 on server 2012 R2 HyperV, RFX USB redirection not working

    Hello, 
    I currently have  windows server 2012 R2 with HyperV installed. I have built two virtual machines. A windows 8.1 and Windows 7 sp1. Both are enterprise editions  
    For RemoteFX the hypervisor is using a Zotec GTX 760 GPU. It recognizes it and uses it to apply remoteFX adapter on my Windows 7 Sp1 VM. 
    As you are aware I do not need to use a GPU to enable RFX on my Windows 8.1 it can do this without the need of a GPU.    
    Using an RDP client( v8.1)  I can connect to my Windows 8.1 VM with a USB headset,memory Key or a printer and they all enumerate on the Virtual machine. The driver for each device installs 
    and I can use the device without any issues. 
    However this issue lies with the Windows 7 SP1 VM. I can connect to it via RDP( Same client)  but I cannot redirect any devices to it. I have installed the latest integration services available on the VM. I have ran all updates available.
    Because I have ran all updates the rdp version on the VM is running v8.1.
    Previous to installing the updates USBr still was not working
    I have enabled the following group polices under remote desktop services on the Windows 7 SP1 VM : 
    RDP 8.0 -- Enabled
    Configure RFX -- Enabled
    Is there a known issue with USB redirection not working on a Windows 7sp1 virtual machine hosted on server 2012 Hypervisor ??
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    According to the log above, I found that we run the script on both Server6 and Server7. Errors as below:
    Server6: Conversion is not supported in restricted language mode or a Data section.
    Server7: Couldn't figure out valid servers from the specified destination scope. Check your parameters and try again.
    Since we can only run the RollAlternateserviceAccountPassword.ps1 Script on CAS server, the script not works well if Server6 is MBX server.
    For Server7, based on the error message, it seems you still have no right to run the script/cmdlet.
    Please add your account to Organization Management Role group(ADUC->domain.com->Microsoft Exchange Security Groups) to test if possible.
    By the way, from Technet:
    You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Client Access Security" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

  • Server 2012 - Windows 8 RemoteFX USB Redirection not working

    I have setup a test envrionment with Server 2012.  RDS has been installed.  Hyper-V, RDCB, RDWeb, and RDVH are all on the same box.  I have a personal unmanaged Remote Desktop Virtual pool with one test virtual running Windows 8.  I have
    enabled RemoteFx USBdirection in Group Policy on every machine involved and forced GP update.
    I can see my devices in the Remote Desktop Connection details on the client (i.e. it shows up under Local Resources/Local devices and resources/More/Other supported RemoteFX USB devices.  Or, if you prefer, I have added  "usbdevicestoredirect:s:*"
    to the .rdp file that the Web Access spits out then I log in to web page and attempt to connect to my published virtual machine.
    The problem is that the devices do not show up anywhere in the virtual machine's device manager once logged in.  Furthermore, there is no Universal Serial Bus node in device manager at all.  I do not have a RemoteFX compatible GPU available for
    hyper-v or the virtual machine, but it is my understanding with Server 2012 and Windows 8 this is not necessary.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  I thought I saw a [email protected] or similar email on one of the blog comments, but I can seem to find the post again, I have scoured the internet relating to usb redirection and remotefx and it is a disorganized mess.
    Thanks.
    Wayne

    The first device I am focusing on is a desktop scanner, an Epson GT-S50.  This device shows up in the client's Remote Desktop Connection details as a "RemoteFx Other supported RemoteFX USB Devices".
    Although, and perhaps I'm a total fool, but, I have not installed Epson's specific drivers for this scanner on either the client, nor the VM.  My client's Device Manager currently shows the scanner under "Other Devices" as "Epson Scanner".  The
    Device Status says that "The drivers for this device are not installed".  My expectation was that this was still enough to redirect the same object (and its condition) to the VM.  At that point, I expected the VM to see and respond
    (in its own Device Manager) the same way, at which point I would then install the Epson-specific driver package on the VM (i.e. without ever having to install the Epson package on the client).
    The second device I wanted to test was a Ezurio BRBLU03 Bluetooth Adpater.  This device's drivers have been installed on the client and works flawlessly, locally.  However, this device is not showing up at all under "RemoteFx Other supported
    RemoteFX USB Devices", even after "usbdevicestoredirect:s:*" was specified.  I suppose this is a separate issue, and I was planning on troubleshooting this next.  For now I just wanted to see a proof of concept that a device that RD can see can in
    fact be redirected.
    I guess I have based my expectations on the experience we had with a third-party USB redirection tool that we tested prior to engaging in testing RDS.
    My client is running Windows 8 Enterprise, and the VM (vhdx) is running the same.  When you refer to the RDC 8 update, isn't that already included in this OS?  In other words, is that only a concern if I were using Windows 7?
    Thanks for your help.

  • USB redirection with Canon scanner -- driver must be reinstalled

    I am trying to get a Canon DR-M140 scanner to work through Remote Desktop USB Redirection.
    When connecting the scanner through USB Redirection to a Windows Server 2012 R2 remote desktop session, the scanner device appears in the remote session's device list, but the TWAIN driver does not load. The scanner appears as an "unknown" device
    and the properties dilalog shows "Device status: Reinstall the drivers for this device. (Code 18)" However, reinstalling the drivers has no effect.
    Repro steps:
    - Windows Server 2012 R2 server
    - Windows 8.1 Pro client
    - M140DRIT_V12SP1 driver package installed on both server and client
    - RemoteFX USB Redirection group policy enabled on client
    - CANON DR-M140 checked in mstsc devices tab
    - Connect to server
    - Open Devices and Printers
    - CANON DR-M140 appears in Unspecified section
    - Double-clicking for properties and clicking Hardware tab shows "Device status: Reinstall the drivers for that device. (Code 18)"
    Does anyone have specific or general advice on getting this to work?
    Thanks,
    Walter
    Walter Smith

    First, I would like to confirm the following questions:
    1. Is there an exclamation mark or question mark in Device Manager after plugging the scanner? If so, please let me know.
    2. Which software is used on the machine to scan file, the built-in application or Canon software? When trying to use the application to scan, is there any error information?
    At this stage, please download the Canon software and install it for a test.
    Canon Scanner software
    Then, please use the Canon application to scan file again.
    If there is any error message, please upload it for research. Meanwhile, please access the following folder and upload the setupapi.dev.log file.
    C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log
    Hope this helps.

  • RemoteFX USB redirection control per user

    Hi All,
    Just got a bunch of new thin clients in. Acer N2110G with DeTOS 7.2.2, connecting to a session based 2012 RDP server.
    I have a requirement that normal users not be able to write to USB drives. Does anybody know how I would go about controlling this with these thin clients?
    With a traditional workstation, we were just using the Deny removable write GPO, and only one group of users was allowed to write. With these thin clients, the redirected USB drive shows up as a folder inside a mapped drive, and everyone can write to it.
    I tried using the enable/disable RemoteFX USB redirection, but that seems to be for the client computers, and is a computer setting, not user.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to switch to WES to get this type of functionality?
    Please let me know if I can provide further info...
    Thanks everyone!

    Hi,
    What I can thoght is to add the users into a group with Deny write access Enabled via Group Policy.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • Remote Desktop Session Host USB Redirection with Windows 8.1

    Hello all,
    I've currently setup this environment (both OS/Client are fully up to date as of today). I am using one server as the Gateway, Web Access, Connection Broker and RD Session Host with one collection.
    I am trying to get USB redirection setup to work properly. Some devices work (pen drives/iPhone etc), but other devices (we have a smart card reader we are testing that works natively on my Windows 8 machine) that doesn't appear.
    I see conflicting information wherever I go on the internet on how to get this working. Some places suggest modifying the registry on the client machine, other places suggest you need to add a customrdpproperty to the collection.
    What is the proper way to get this working on 2012 R2 with Windows 8.1?

    Hi Gavin,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For redirecting USB on server 2012 R2 is to set the custom property for a session collection by using following command.
    Set-RDVirtualDesktopCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName YourCollectionName –CustomRdpProperty "usbdevicestoredirect:s:{6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f }"
    where {6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f} is the System-Defined Device Setup Class GUID. 
    More information.

    2. Why can't I see my local smartcard readers when I connect via RDP?

  • On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

    On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
    "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
    I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
    This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
    I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
    The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • How to enable USB 2.0 on the MEGA 651 - found a way

    Very important question...
    How did you guys enable the USB 2.0 ports? I plugged a device in the front ports today, only to be told that there are no USB 2.0 drivers installed...
    The MSI CD that came with the MEGA only has drivers for W2k, and my XP installation won't recognize them... (kind of idiotic, considering MSI strongly advocates using the 651 with XP !?) BTW, I have WinXP SP2 ...
    *edit* I figured out the procedure - allow Windows Update to operate automatically, reboot, make sure you've enabled USB 2.0 in BIOS, then when everything's up and running again, just plug in again a 2.0 device... the machine will do the rest... just don't do what I did... on the first try, I realized all this time I had my USB 1.1 keyboard plugged in... :D
    Also, how did you get the modem to be seen/properly installed by the system? No conflicts with the other devices?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions. In fact, welcome to the Discussions for the new iMac Intel Core Duo!
    You may get a better/quicker response from folks with a Mac like yours.
    Here is a link to the correct forum for your post;

    However, I do not believe what you are asking is possible. You should have 2 older USB ports, version 1.0 I think.

  • USB Redirection Performance

    I have SRSS 4.2 w/ SRWC 2.2 (AKA SRSS5) connecting to an XP virtual machine using the drivers included with the SRWC package. The DTU is a Sunray 2 with the firmware provided via the SRSS 4.2 install. The DTU connects to the VM via a vmware view broker.
    I have USB redirection up and working just fine with one exception: Performance is horrid. It takes 15+ minutes to copy a 300M file from a USB key to the VM. This works out to about 350KB/s or 4% of the 100Mbps bandwidth
    When using our Wyse thin clients, that same file from the same usb key to the same VM will copy the file at a more reasonable 9MB/s. so that same file gets copied over in a little over 30 seconds.
    Is there something we should be doing (i.e., hacking apart the vmware broker agent to not install its usb redirectors) in order to get better performance or is this as good as it gets with the sunray?

    V10L's for the wyse devices which have USB 2.0 ports on them.
    But thanks for the reminder that the SR 2 only has USB 1.1 ports. That may be the issue (in which case the unit is running at 50% of the theoretical performance. )
    I have some 2FS's laying around which in theory have USB 2.0 ports on them and will retest on those.
