Working on setting up a WVD terminal service environment for a client. One of the requirements is the ability to use certain USB peripherals devices. The important ones are VEC Infinity Footpedals and scanners. These are both USB devices.
I'm having some trouble finding out if this is supported on a WVD environment. Logging on through the Remote Desktop client doesn't pick up on the redirected scanner or foot pedal and I can't seem to find any definitive answer online.
I RDP into my work laptop when I work from home, and the it picks up the foot pedal and other peripherals fine, and I assumed WVD used the same re-directors. The virtual desktops pick up on all other USB devices without issue including printers, keyboards, and mouses.
Other peripherals I tried to test included a Xbox 360 usb controller.
Is it not supported in this type of environment yet, or is something more that can be configured?
Currently I have two VMs spun up - one is domain joined that you go through the Remote Desktop client to access. The second is not domain joined and is for testing, and I go through RDP to get into it. In both cases the extra USB peripherals do not redirect.
I did go through an enable RemoteFX through GPO to see if that would allow us to pull the foot pedal and other devices through to the WVD, and still had no luck pertaining to this.
