Guest £Jim Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Hi, Is there any way to have a locally attached (USB) device, for example a scale, appear within a terminal server session? Or are we still restricted to local printers and drives only? We are connecting XP clients to a 2003 terminal server. Thanks
Guest Patrick Rouse Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 RE: Local USB peripherals within TS session? Typically RDP Supports only Printer Redirection over USB, so you'd likely need to add a USB over IP product to your Terminal Server. http://www.incentivespro.com/rdp-usb-redirector.html -- Patrick C.

Guest Tim S Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 RE: Local USB peripherals within TS session? Patrick have you tried this tool with sucess? We gave it a try but we were not able to see the a local USB Camera drive as a drive letter in the RDP session .

Guest Patrick Rouse Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 RE: Local USB peripherals within TS session? Yes, I have tested it with several devices. I haven't tested using USB storage, as this is natively connected via RDP, but not to a drive letter. I'll test this next. You might want to contact IncentivesPro as they might be able to help you. Is a drive letter a requirement? What do you mean by Camera Drive, i.e. the storage card in your camera, when you connect the camera via USB? -- Patrick C.
