Usb redirection in KIOSK mode

Dear all,
i am trying to redirect usb flash disk connected to DTU to windows terminal server.
i am using the script provided in the other forum
http://blogs.sun.com/danielc/entry/a_usb_drive_daemon_for1
i am getting error or it is not redirecting (usb flash disk) from Admin Gui in Kiosk mode
i am setting the path as in kios mode as: -r disk:USBDRVS="$HOME/USBDRVS" 192.168.17.55
will it work. will it redirect to terminal server windows session
thanks

Dear it didnot work.
do i need to write something before -r disk...
i suspect.
when i connected usb on DTU. it is coming in solaris. so the script mount point is also available but i cannot present it from kios full mode session. it is not redirecting.
Thanks

Sunray, VM, USB and Meta Kiosk

Hi All,
I am new to Sunray and have taken over a system with an unfinished development of Sunray thin clients and VMware.
What I would like to know is it possible to have USB redirection with Sunray FS2 thin clients, connecting using UTTSC to XP SP2 VM?
I have added the USB Drivers and installed the Windows Component included with SSWC 2.2.
Do I need some sort of UTTSC conf?

so how does native SRWC work? does it connect to a pool of VMs?
SRWC as an isolated product connects to the host you pass as an argument. I believe that is what you currently do.
The SRWC kiosk session that comes with SRWC is configured with a single host argument, so all kiosk sessions connect to the same host. This is intended primarily for use with Windows Server Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Services.
What would you advise to be the best option.
The Oracle VDI product is what you need to connect to pools of VMs. It is a VDI broker that manages VMs and that connects your Sun Ray sessions to the correct VM. It uses SRWC and Kiosk Mode internally.
I have a set of users that need to be able to connect to the same machine everytime they logon due to specific applications and confuguarations.
using meta kiosk with UTTSC was ok but doesnt support USB redirection as standard. this is causeing issues.'Meta Kiosk' isn't part of a supported Sun product, so I can't say anything about it. You might try to make your 'meta kiosk' chain to the kiosk session script of the official SRWC kiosk session (under /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/uttsc/) - that should give you USB redirection. You can also look at that script to discover the private parameter for uttsc that enables USB redirection. That parameter is not publically documented, as it isn't tested or supported outside a full-screen Windows kiosk session.

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.
By the way, from Technet:

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

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.

Lock th desktop for users: enable kiosk mode in xfce4*SOLVED

[In short]
How to activate kiosk mode in xfce4, so end-user won't break the wm/desktop configuration we configured for many to use it ?
[Detailed]
I've decided my association's mates to choose Arch as our desktop PCs OS (we do this to provide basic Internet / office / image manipulations capabilities to the ~50 young workers we voluntary work for).
PCs are PIII 800MHz with 256MB RAM & 7-10GB HD.
On top of easy to configure & fast Arch Linux, I opted for xfce4 wm for the same reasons
Now we configured grub bootscreen & xfce, with images made by our president (beeing a wonderfull graphist). Quite everybody find the beta PC fast, accurate, good looking and easy to use and so far enjoying the shift from previous win98 PentiumII PCs very much
A few screenshots : the desktop ; Firefox & Gaim ; Gimp & gQview
Now we couldn't solve 2 configuration's issues :
- How to activate kiosk mode in xfce4, so end-user won't break the wm/desktop configuration we configured for many to use it ?
Neither intensive reading of xfce4's doc nor googling for a couple of hours helped us activate it
- auto(un)mount users usb stick : tried autofs that could do the job if we find how to show icons on xfce4's desktop (didn't search hard yet) ; tried ivman but actually didn't work.
Do you have some tips to help us solve those 2 last issues ?
link to the public new Arch Linux PC's thread (in French)

Done
kioskrc is to be located in /opt/xfce4/etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc not into /etc/xdg/xfce4.

How to disable dangerous options in on screen keyboard in kiosk mode?

Hello,
I'm trying to make a kiosk like application based on Windows 7. I run locked down IE in kiosk mode and that's quite OK.
However when I run the OSK.exe (on screen keyboard) - it has two dangerous buttons: Options (where I can click on "Control whether the On-Screen Keyboard starts when I log on" link and then run Windows explorer, and Help (where I can go to Options, and then
click on "Read the privacy statement online" link that brings me fresh IE).
Is there way to disable in OSK those two buttons?
For instance, when I run OSK on logon screen it hides the Help button and the dangerous link in the Options button, so it's possible at least for MS. Is it possible for plain customers?
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai.
WBR, Nikolai

Hi,
Based on my test and research, I’m afraid that the two options of On-screen Keyboard may not be disabled.
Instead, you can use
Tablet PC Input Panel and see how it works.
Hope this helps.

How to launch a single URL in a locked windowed-kiosk mode?

We need to launch a specific URL in Firefox in a windowed-kiosk mode.
If this can be done via a command-line that would be great. The Company want to restrict the use of the browser to this one specific URL and only allow close controls on the opened app window.
Is this possible?
Any help much appreciated!

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.

Apart from above also refer below links for information.
1. Smart Card and Remote Desktop Services
2. Why can't I see my local smartcard readers when I connect via RDP?
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

Sunray 5.2 Kiosk mode - Creation of Submenu's?

Hi folks,
Looking for a solution to a problem we have encountered. Looking to create our own menu structure on our thin client kiosk sessions.
At the moment, we are running Sun JDS3 on our sunrays, using an application list to run some programs. They all appear under an "applications" tab on the menu, and I'm looking for a way to add additional menu items into there. Have been trawling the net looking for some solutions, but no luck as of yet.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in Advance,
George

hi sorry for delay
as per the this default sunray kiosk mode their is two way's that you can change, either you can rename the "Applications" option or you can change to another option "Setting" but you must have to select any one. as per this design.
I . for Rename:
#cd /etc/opt/SUNWkio/prototypes/jds3/.kiosk/menus/applications
#vi .directory
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Applications -> <any name>
Comment=Kiosk Applications
Icon=gnome-applications
Type=Directory
or
# mv /etc/opt/SUNWkio/prototypes/jds3/.kiosk/menus/applications /etc/opt/SUNWkio/prototypes/jds3/.kiosk/menus/meapplications
II. if you want to change the default selection you can change hear.
# vi /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/jds3/applauncher
<find the below line in this script file.
KIOSKMENUDIR=$HOME/.kiosk/menus
KIOSKAPPMENUDIR=$KIOSKMENUDIR/Applications -> Setting (example: change the application to setting it will added in this setting by default.)
In addition to that you can create your Owen kiosk application as per your recruitment for that review the kiosk application documents.

[SOLVED] Attempting to boot from USB key in UEFI mode

I am attempting to boot from a USB Key in UEFI mode to dual boot windows 8 and arch linux. I'm unsuccessful in getting the USB key to boot in UEFI mode.
I am following the guide on page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface due to the fact that I am receiving error " No loader found. Configuration files in /loader/entries/*.conf are needed."
I am attempting to use the archiso media and have created refind.conf according to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31894#comment102233 in (USB)/EFI/boot/refind.conf
However, I'm stuck on the initial step from the wiki: Install refind-efi pkg. In the usb's filesystem, overwrite the file EFI/boot/bootx64.efi with /usr/lib/refind/refind_x64.efi.
My question is: How do I install the refind-efi package onto the USB key using an arch linux host machine and the USB plugged into the machine.

swordfish wrote:1. Might be possible, that the uefi integration is pretty bad. Have you already looked for an update of the uefi bios?
This is my thought, too. The "memory map has changed" message sounds like the firmware is messing with the way memory is laid out in the middle of the boot process. A firmware update, if available, is likely to be the best way to deal with this problem. If not, trying Fedora's patched GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2 are also worth doing; it's conceivable that one of them includes a workaround for the problem.
2. In your first posting you mention Windows 8 on this machine. Is W8 starting in uefi mode?
This is important, but if the disk uses GPT partitioning, then Windows is starting in EFI mode.
3. If W8 is starting in uefi mode, are you sure that secure boot is disabled?
It is; if it weren't, neither rEFInd nor ELILO could start -- or even if they were configured to start in Secure Boot mode, ELILO doesn't launch its kernels in a way that respects Secure Boot, so the ELILO failure can't be caused by Secure Boot. Also, when launched with Secure Boot active, rEFInd returns a clear error message about a security violation and then returns to its main menu; it doesn't hang the computer.
One possible workaround occurs to me if all else fails: Have rEFInd launch a BIOS version of GRUB. The setup procedure, in outline, is as follows:
Create a BIOS Boot Partition on the disk.
Install the BIOS version of GRUB 2.
Configure rEFInd to include a scan for BIOS-mode boot loaders by uncommenting the "scanfor" line in refind.conf and adding "hdbios" to it.
Thereafter, you'll see a new "generic" icon, which should launch GRUB, which should launch Linux in BIOS mode, even though Windows launches in EFI mode. This will work on most modern UEFI-based computers with a single hard disk, but things get trickier with multiple disks and with some UEFI implementations that lack the necessary firmware features. If a future firmware update fixes the problem, or if a future kernel's EFI stub loader includes a workaround, the EFI-mode booting will become an option once again.

Blue screen when booting from USB drive in UEFI mode (2013.07)

SOLUTION for me was to update the firmware on my ASRock mb as thatu pdate changed the EFI software (by American Megatrends) version from 2.00 to 2.31. However, other users are still experiencing the blue screen.
SHORT VERSION
When I try to boot Arch Linux 2013.07 with an USB drive in UEFI mode (for installation), I get a blue screen (which is rather a literal description and not a hint towards the old Windows' one) with the message
Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
LONG VERSION
I made an USB installation media (product: Intenso Rainbow) by following this advice on the wiki.
I used the july release of Arch for that. First of, after installing the image to the USB stick I found that I needed to correct the label in the archiso-x86_64.conf file to ARCH_201307 (or was it the label of the usb stick, can't remember right now). (Pretty sure it was the same problem with "Linux Live USB Creator" which I used 3-4 months ago...)
After doing that, I rebooted and selected the entry
UEFI Intenso Rainbow
from this list of entries:
SATA HDJ ... something (the hard drive where Win 7 64 bit is installed with all programs)
SATA something (hard drive which only contains data)
Windows Boot Manager
USB: Intenso Rainbow
UEFI: Intenso Rainbow
It went to a blue screen with a message in white text saying
Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
Below that was an OK button which had a black rectangle over it.
After I experienced the bluescreen, I tried booting the
USB Intenso Rainbow
entry and the boot process then worked fine, I got to that Arch menu where I could choose
Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)
Boot Arch Linux (i686)
Boot existing OS
Run Memtest...
and so on...
But just to make sure, I then did the check for UEFI mode according to this and only saw a folder acpi and ... something else I can't really remember, but it definitely was not efi. Thing is, I needwant to boot into UEFI mode as I have Win 7 already installed in UEFI mode.
Some info about my motherboard: it's from ASRock and is called H67M. The BIOS is dated to 2011-10-26 and is version 1.7.
So far, I only found a mention of the problem here at superuser.com.

Ok then, so this thread has also become about the blank screen problem when booting (in this particular case, Arch 2013.06 since 2013.07 seems to be worse).
srs5694 wrote:Typically, you adjust kernel boot options using your boot manager or boot loader. In GRUB, you hit the "e" key to open an editor. In rEFInd, you hit F2 or Insert twice. I don't recall offhand what key does the job for gummiboot (which I'm pretty sure the Arch installer uses), but I'm certain it's got the feature.
You are right. Thanks. I realized I had the gummiboot config right in front of me all the time. It's the file 'archiso-x86_64.conf' in \loader\entries (on Windows).
An addendum: I think the USB: Intenso Rainbow boot option takes me into a GRUB menu. Hitting 'e' in this "big" and fully designed menu didn't do anything IIRC. Hitting 'Tab' did the trick to get into editing the boot command line.
Hitting 'e' worked in the gummiboot menu though.
So I tried booting with the following options (also by combining some of them)
nomodeset
acpi_backlight=vendor
radeon.modeset=0 (I have a Gigabyte 7870 card in this desktop machien)
i915.modeset=0
but it did not help.
To be rather safe than sorry: I should mention that there are two grey-ish bars visible on the top and bottom of the screen after I try to boot the first entry, Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI USB. Always has been with those two older Arch version (2013.05+2013.06). I also found another thread where one user talks about using the VGA port of the monitor, which I am currently not, I am using the DVI one, so that's worth a try too. EDIT It did not help either. What I did was setting the primary graphics adapter in the UEFI north bridge configuration menu to 'onboard' which worked immediately when rebooting (I hit the button labeled "Source" on my monitor and it showed it is using the "Analog" mode), but the problem just stayed the same. Adding aforementioned boot options or a combination thereof did not change anything.
Thanks for the e-mail addresses, I sent one to James Bottomley.

Windows 8.1 Update 1 Kiosk Mode difference

We have a number of stations running modern IE on Windows 8.1 in Kiosk Mode. I ran the in-place upgrade on a few of them to test Windows 8.1 Update 1. Everything runs fine except that hitting the Windows key 5 times no longer takes you to the login
screen. Is this by design or just something that was over looked? I also noticed that Crt+Alt+Del works and though I haven't gone back to the original machines that have not been upgraded yet, I believe this didn't used to work.

Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
Based on my test,we didn't meet this issue.
I suggest that we check the Group policy first.

Unable to attach USB device in XP Mode on Windows 7 enterprise x64

I am using XP Mode on win 7 enterprise edition x64, when i try to attach USB devices on XP Mode i receive the below message
''Could not attach the USB device. You can attach the USB device to the different USB port or restart the virtual machine and try again"
USB devices works fine on windows 7 but not in XP Mode.
Any suggestions please..

Hi,
From what I have known, not all USB devices will work under XP Mode hubs.
Also, Windows 7 XP Mode is not capable of detecting or recognizing USB 3.0 ports on the host system. It is only capable of detecting and recognizing USB 2.0 ports.
Does the USB device can be detected in the host machine? On the host machine, go to Device Manager, check if USB Virtualization is installed, try to uninstall and re-install it for test.
Meanwhile, please refer the following article and check the result:

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.
