Guest Tim S Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 All, I have a two part question: 1. With terminal services in Windows 2003 and WYSE terminals running embedded XP, is it possible to have reliable USB 2.0 redirection? We have tried this shareware without a lot of luck and their support is less than adequate. http://www.usb-redirector.com/downloads.html What we are trying to do is install digital camera software on the terminal sever and load pictures from the USB 2.0 cable locally at the WYSE terminal. The camera needs to be a drive letter for the workflow to be acceptable. Are there known third party solutions that will do this without breaking the bank? 2. Is this even an issue with Windows Server 2008? Thank you kindly. Tim

What happens if users select the option to redirect local drive letters in their TS sessions? They should see their cameras show up in Explorer as a drive letter, if it's doing so on their local PC. That said, I don't see the value in most bundled digital camera software. Photoshop (or Elements) can work, but neither works well on TS. I'd just copy the photos in Explorer if it were me. > 2.

Guest jolteroli Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Re: USB 2.0 Redirect Options with Native 2003 Terminal Services only a thought, but why don't you use a good linux TC-OS like openthinclient on the wyse TC's? the underlying ubuntu will map the camera to /media/somename. this local share is accessible from within the TS session by \\tsclient\media\somename. then you subst the path \\tsclient\media\somename to the driveletter I: in a logon script and tell the camera software to use this letter. so each user has her/his local attached camera pictures available in the session. this way we use RSA key files on USB pens, where the software only allows driverletters to select. -jolt "Tim S" <TimS@discussions.microsoft.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:1C39D7E9-74BD-4EC2-8C5A-4D34EEA5163D@microsoft.com... > All, > I have a two part question: > > 1.
