Can I use local SCSI, USB, Paralel, Serial ports on client compute


Recommended Posts

I need to use applications with Fujitsu scanner on local SCSI port, and local

USB port with Olympus Digital voice recorder, and USB memory sticks.

Other needs would require local printer, either parallel or USB and serial

port use for hyperterminal command prompt controlled devices.

Is this possible on terminal services client or do I need to do these

functions locally?

I have Windows Enterprise server 2003 R2 running teminal services

applications to clients.

If yes, I need either articel or instructions on how to do it.

Scanner redirection is not natively supported. For this you

can use a third-party application, for example:

 

http://www.remote-scan.com/feature-list-connecting-scanner-to-network.php

 

Audio support is one-way (Output). This means that an audio

input device (such as a recorder) from the workstation is not

natively supported. Again a third-party app would be required.

 

USB memory sticks are supported via local drive redirection.

 

Make your local disk drives available in a session

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/91e5965b-386a-4da1-ac1d-7b8128c28c271033.mspx?mfr=true

 

Local printer redirection is supported if the drivers are TS

compatible or you can map to compatible printer driver. I

recommend you install the version of the Remote Desktop

Client located on your 2003 server's hard drive here:

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\clients\tsclient\win32\msrdpcli.msi

 

Terminal Services and Printing

Make your local printer available in a session

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/91e5965b-386a-4da1-ac1d-7b8128c28c271033.mspx?mfr=true

 

Serial port redirection is supported. You should test with your

specific application and device to see if they are compatible.

 

Make your local serial port available in a session

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/17d44d9a-cf4b-4a6a-94ec-093cb5f8b2b71033.mspx?mfr=true

 

Configure settings for mapping client devices

Support for local device redirection has been enhanced in

Windows Server 2008, see here:
