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

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.

RemoteFX-USB-Redirecton CD-Writer Server 2012 R2

Hi everybody,
today I want to ask you a question about RemoteFX USB Redirection. In this scenario I want to burn a CD or DVD on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Terminalserver with my external USB-CD-Writer using RemoteFX.
RemoteFX is available on the Terminalserver and my Client (Windows 8.1 Pro) is configured with the following Reg-Key.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2653326
CD-Writer ist available on the RDP-Session but the Hardware is locked in Device Manager with "The Device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE".
Does anyone have an idea?
Greetings Wolfgang

Hi,
As per my research, the error which you are facing is a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem. You may have corruption or issues with driver.
Firstly I want you to check the hardware part for the device and then please try to uninstall the related driver and then reinstall the latest updated available driver for your External CD-Writer device.
Moreover, you can also contact the device seller (CD-Writer seller) for more details regarding device.
More information:

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.

Hope it helps!

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.

Hope this helps.

Disable USB per USER

Hi guys,
i really need your help to disable USB per User. I have installed Windows WMS 2012 on a server and it is connected with USB to LG monitors, my issue is i have to disable USB devices per Monitor. Can anyone help me it is very urgent !!!
Kind Regards,

The easiest way is to set the permissions on the
printer utility for only the Admin account.
Go to the Applications\Utilities\Printer Utility.
Getinfo on the Printer Utility and set the "others"
to No Access.
Be sure to remove the printer(s) from the accounts
you don't want to have printing. This is a global
change and there won't be any printers available
under the users account. This will prevent (Kids)
users from adding a printer.
I just tried this and I could not get it to work for me. I changed the access on Printer Setup Utility and removed the proxy printers (~/Library/Printers) and all .plist files having to do with printing (~/Library/Preferences) from a non-administrative user account. I was still able to print from Word without any problems.
Also, when I Repaired Permissions, the permissions for the Printer Setup Utility returned to "factory specs" and "Others" again had Read permission.
Did I misinterpret your instructions?

How to use the *new* "per-user remote control"?

Per the ARD discription page at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-remote-desktop/id409907375?mt=12
It says under "Whats New in 3.5.1":
"Per-user remote control
You can remotely log in to a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login.
How can I do this? I can't seem to find the ability. If I use ARD in it's "normal" mode, I am on the user's console at the same time they are.... I want to be "underneath" the console without affecting them.

That capability is only available if your client systems are running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. See:

TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases How to fix? Have removed sc info folder and adjusted user account controls per instructions

My ITunes sore account repeatedly prompts to authorize computer. I have deauthorized and reauthorized computer. I only have one computer authorized. I have changed the user account controls per instructions. I have removed the SC Info folder per instructions for Windows 7 and nothing works. Everything was working fine a few days ago.

I have now checked my purchaes and when I check the video info by going to File/Get Info, I notice that some of the most recent purchases do not list my apple id whereas previous purchaes do.
How do I correct this?

Do not allow clipboard redirection - enable/disable per user

I have a requirement to for all users, by default, to enable the following GPO on a Windows 2008 R2 RDS server:
"Do not allow clipboard redirection"
This policy is configurable in both the computer and user policies.
When I enable the policy for the computer only it disables the use of clipboard redirection for all users.
When I enable the policy for the user only (enabling loopback processing on the computer policy as the user is in a different OU to the server) it does not disable the use of clipboard redirection, the setting is grayed out in the RDP settings but it remains
enabled (un-checked).
So it would appear that the setting is only configurable (or will only work) as a computer policy. Can anyone confirm if this is an expected behavior as I have tested in both a lab and live environment with the same result?
Cheers,
Phil

Hi Phil,
Thank you for post in Windows Server Forum.
If you disable redirection of the Clipboard, for example, users connecting remotely to the RD Session Host server on this connection will not be able to redirect their Clipboard in their remote session, even if they select the Clipboard check box on the Local
Resources tab under Options in Remote Desktop Connection.
If you enable redirection of a local device or resource on the RD Session Host server, users will still have to specify that they want to redirect that type of local device or resource by making the appropriate selection on the Local Resources tab under Options
in Remote Desktop Connection.
Note: These Group Policy settings will take precedence over the settings configured in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration and over the settings specified by the user in Remote Desktop Connection. If both the Computer Configuration and the User Configuration
policy settings are configured, the Computer Configuration policy settings take precedence.

Amount of Resources CPU and Memory per user

Hi,
We are looking to deploy a Line of Business Application via RemoteApp and a custom template. The application requires a significant amount of RAM and CPU, can someone tell me who much RAM and CPUs are allocated per session \ user? I would expect
that we would use the Standard tier if any difference to resources available.
Thanks
Giles

Hi James,
Currently there is no way to configure resources other than selecting either Basic or Standard. If you would like a lower per-VM user density (and thus higher resources for each user) what you can do is create more collections, and only assign
a small number of users to each.
For example, say you only wanted to have a maximum of 4 users on each VM, providing typically at least 1 vCPU per user. In this case you would create collections with the Basic plan, each linked
to the same template image, and only assign a maximum of 4 user accounts on the user access tab of each. Assuming each user uses 80+ hours a month, the total (before discounts) cost for each collection would be $228/month, making each user
cost about $57/month, slightly less than equivalent cost under Standard plan pricing if you factor in resources per user.
You probably already know this, but I will explain how scaling works normally for others that may read this. Azure RemoteApp will automatically create more VMs for each collection as needed to handle user load (Scale-Out) and shut down VMs when the
user load is reduced (Scale-In). The key thing that affects this scaling mechanism is the maximum concurrent users allowed on each VM, which for Standard is 10.
In your case you are asking if you can have more resources per user, hence my instructions above for creating multiple collections and limiting the number of assigned users to less than 10 each.
Depending on your unique needs it may make more sense to create a custom RDS deployment on Azure IaaS VMs. In this case you could control the size/type of VM used, user density, etc. Downside is you have to set up and manage more
RDS components than you do if you use Azure RemoteApp.

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
Brian

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.

ISE 1.2 & AD & Meraki - Per User Group Policy ?

I am working on a PoC for a deployment in an MDU. We are using Meraki switches and access points. There are 250 units in the building, each unit will have it's own subnet. The goal is to have the tenant be able to connect to a common building SSID and be placed into their assigned VLAN. There will also be physical ports in each unit that will need to do the same. I am trying to figure out a way to use ISE to authorize on a per user basis and not based on groups of users. On the Meraki system there are group policies that will assign the VLAN for the user as well as any type of layer 7 firewalling and bandwidth control. So there will be 250 group policies, one for each unit. There is a deployment guide that shows how to setup ISE for use with Meraki and it is great but it assumes that there will be large groups like Employees, Contractors, etc.. that will be used. This is where I'm being tripped up, also... this is my first swing at a NAC deployment so I have a lot to learn.
1.Can I setup each user in Active Directory to have a tag that ISE can then forward on to Meraki for the group policy? Say it's unit 101 and I have a group policy called 101 in Meraki, Meraki documentation says to use the Airespace-ACL-Name attribute in ISE to indicate the group policy to use. This gives me the ability to place a group into that policy but not an individual. Or would this be better done by creating the users in ISE directly? Omit AD entirely?
2. Each unit will have devices that will need MAB because they are not 802.1x compatible. I need to do the same as above with them. I would create a separate SSID for these devices but then use the MAC address to authenticate them but will need to authorize them to go into a specific group policy.
I know this isn't a typical ISE application but I think that this will work really well in the end, just need to iron out these details and get a test system functioning. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Nathan

Please find the Meraki_ISE integration doc. in attachment.
When VLAN tagging is configured per user, multiple users can be associated to the same SSID, but their traffic is tagged with different VLAN IDs. This configuration is achieved by authenticating wireless devices or users against a customer-premise RADIUS server, which can return RADIUS attributes that convey the VLAN ID that should be assigned to a particular user’s traffic.
In order to perform per-user VLAN tagging, a RADIUS server must be used with one of the following settings:
MAC-based access control (no encryption)
WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1x authentication
A per-user VLAN tag can be applied in 3 different ways:
The RADIUS server returns a Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attribute in the Access-Accept message, which specifies the VLAN ID that should be applied to the wireless user. This VLAN ID could override whatever may be configured in the MCC (which could be no VLAN tagging, or a per-SSID VLAN tag). To have this VLAN ID take effect, “RADIUS override” must be set to “RADIUS response can override VLAN tag” under the Configure tab on the Access Control page in the “VLAN setup” section.
The RADIUS server returns a group policy attribute (e.g., Filter-ID) in the Access-Accept message. The group policy attribute specifies a group policy that should be applied to the wireless user, overriding the policy configured on the SSID itself. If the group policy includes a VLAN ID, the group policy’s VLAN ID will be applied to the user.
On the Client Details page, a client can be manually assigned a group policy. If the group policy includes a VLAN ID, the group policy’s VLAN ID will be applied to the user.

Payment Distribution to Artists by per user plays, rather than total plays

Hello!
I just had a thought about how payment is distributed to artists that I wanted to see if anyone might have some thoughts on. Spotify still does come under criticism on occasion for artist payment distribution - I've seen a couple of instances of people citing iTunes as providing more monetary compensation to artists since it is per download, rather than per play, among other things. This seems to be especially true for independent artists, and artists who are generally less well-known.
I was wondering if Spotify has ever considered doing payment distributions using the
sum[ (total artist streams per user) / (total streams per user) ] across all users
ratio for payment calculation, rather than the currently used
(total artist streams across Spotify) / (total streams across Spotify)
approach, i.e. calculating the artists' play ratio by user, rather than in one giant pool. If you have considered this, I would love to hear why the current payment implementation was chosen rather than a per user method, such as the one listed above. But...
If a per user method has not been considered by Spotify previously, I think it would be nice - while I'm not an analyst myself, I imagine that it could lead to more revenue for independent artists, and maybe even less famous artists that are still beholden to rights owners for distribution of payment. I think it would do this because it could account for differences in number of plays per user - rather than users who tend to play more music over the course of a month contributing more all artists' payout, each user has an equal voice in how money gets distributed to artists.
I understand that such a switch would be difficult, and possibly insurmountable in the instance of free users - so, I am positing this as an idea not for all users, but for Premium users only. With Premium, it is a feasible goal, since you have a finite number of plays, and a finite amount of money coming directly from that user, and do not have to worry about trying to calculate differences in advertisement impact for different users. Doing that ratio calculation would be relatively straightforward of a switch computationally (though quite a large change in the system nonetheless, of course).
I think this type of change would empower both users and artists to use Spotify more. Firstly, it would empower artists to allow Spotify to play their music because the metrics they would get per month would be more reflective of the size of their fan base, and how much importance that fan base puts on the artists' music than current metrics.
Secondly, it would empower users more, which I think is especially important for users between 18-32 years of age. While I am not an expert on the subject, I often find that users in this age group (my age group) care a great deal about having control over where their money ends up, which in this case means knowing which rights holders and/or artists are getting the money they are spending. I know I do. Switching to this system, while still not addressing the injustices that are felt within the relationship between rights holders and artists by many, would still allow users to have more of a say in who gets their money than the current system. On top of that, it might be helpfult for Spotify itself - if using Premium is the only way for users to feel empowered by knowing how their money is distributed, it may encourage people in the free tier to upgrade to Premium in order to feel empowered.
Just a thought. I'd love to hear what you and others have to say about this idea.

@Merik thanks for the warm welcome, and for the quick, informative response!
I had the chance to take a look at that page you linked to before my original post, and saw that paragraph you quoted, as well as the bullet point about paid users having a higher "per stream" rate. I guess what I was more interested in (and perhaps this is not the right place to ask this question?) was if there was more of an in-depth "why" behind their decision (and thanks again for linking to it!) documented anywhere that I might be able to read more about. Maybe I was missing something on that page (and please let me know if so!), but the only "why" that I could find was a sentence in the paragraph you quote above:
"We believe, however, that our service and the lives of artists will both be best if the World’s music fans enjoy more music than ever before in a legal, paid manner".
While it's great to see their opinion, I was more curious about the line of reasoning behind that position is all. Because I do wonder whether empowering premium users to have more fine-grained control over how their money is allocated, such as by doing pay "per user", might lead to both more paid users and more revenue for independent and/or lesser-known artists - and if that's something that Spotify has researched already, I would love to hear more about the pros and cons behind such an approach!
Thanks!

USB Redirection in un-brokered SR VDI not working

I have installed Sun Ray Server 4.2 and SRWC 2.2 on a Solaris 10 5/09 server.
I am using my own kiosk script to connect to a Windows XP SP3 virtual machine. I have installed the srs-winstaller.exe on the XP VM with no issues.
I am having trouble getting USB redirection to do anything. In Windows, the "Sun Ray USB Redirector 1.1" icon is in the System Tray. Device Manager shows utSrSession with no errors. The Windows Event Viewer is showing Application errors for utUsbRedirector (newest first):
Warning: utUsbRedirector::WndProc (WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGE WTS_REMOTE_CONNECT g_start_threads failed)
Error: Usb_manager::g_stop_threads() - Handle 0 was not registered:0x2

Warning: Usb_manager::g_stop_threads() - WaitForMultipleObjects Failed
Warning: Usb_manager::g_start_threads - process_return - packet_negotiate failed

I turned up the uttscpd logging
utku7 4767 14177 0 10:20:34 ? 0:00 /opt/SUNWuttsc/lib/uttscpd -D 20
but the log files in /var/opt/SUNWut/log/uttscpd* are always empty.
Am I correct that mounted USB device should show up in:
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.00144f3baa6b/devices/usb@1/hub@1
I have tried plugging in a scanner, a DVD burner, and an iPhone. Nothing ever shows up in that directory and Windows never shows any indication that something has been attached. The only thing I can get to show up in that directory is my USB flash drive, which uttsc maps in the old way using RDP device redirection. At least that means to me that the USB port works on the Sun Ray 2. It looks like I've missed something, can anyone direct me? Thanks.

Yup, that's exactly the kind of "I've missed something" I was looking for. Didn't know about that parameter. Thanks patrickb!
So I removed the -r disk parameter and added -r usb instead. That's what I needed, devices are now recognized by Windows.
Can you use -r usb and -r disk together or is that a bad thing when you insert a flash drive? Which would take priority?
My experience with just "-r usb:on" has been poor:
My genuine "Sun Partner Advantage" flash drive and my U3 Cruzer Micro flash drive both load drivers but don't show up in Explorer. When I try to open My Computer it hangs until I remove the flash drive.
A DVD burner worked (as a reader) for a couple minutes but then froze up.
My Windows Mobile 2003 SE handheld loads drivers but is not recognized by ActiveSync.
My iPhone failed as expected with a driver problem in Device Manager.
But...my NeatReceipts Scanalizer did work! It's a little 600 dpi color document feed scanner. I was able to do a full page color scan which was very nice.
I found that nothing worked at all the first time it was plugged in. It would be discovered by XP and drivers would be found but the device wouldn't show up at all. If I removed it and then re-attached it, I had much better results in terms of drivers loading. Of course most things still didn't work, but they came close.
Another positive was that no matter how locked up Explorer got, removing the device was always clean and I got full control of Explorer back.
