remoteFX USB redirection

Dotaz

I have a Server 2012R2 VM hosted on hyper-v.

I can manage the VM, but not the hyper-v.

I want to connect to the VM with RDP (from a windows 10 computer), and redirect a local USB (some license dongle). And I hoped remoteFX could do that.

HOW do I get remoteFX to work? I have trawled througt a lot of guides and blogs, without luck.

It seems that the VM, being 2012R2, does not require vGPU, and hence the hyper-v host does not need to be able to provide that. I cannot determine if the hyper-v host MUST have the RD Virtualization Server role installed or not (I hope not)

It seems that all it takes on server VM is to enable remoteFX/USB direction, and to install Desktop Experience.

And to disable "do not allow supported plug and play device redirection" on on the server" and enable "Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computer.” on the client.

Yet, it seems not to work. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Below are pre-requirements for RemoteFX USB redirection:
1. RemoteFX USB redirection is only available when connecting to a RemoteFX-enabled Windows 7 SP1 virtual machine (VM) running on a RemoteFX-enabled Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server.

2. RemoteFX USB redirection is available for connections to VMs through RD Web Access and for RemoteApp programs running on RemoteFX-enabled Windows 7 SP1 VMs.

Quote from blog “Introducing Microsoft RemoteFX USB Redirection: Part 3”:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Enterprise-Mobility-Security/Introducing-Microsoft-RemoteFX-USB-Redirection-Part-3/ba-p/247085

So, VDI (Remote Desktop Virtualization Host) deployment should be necessary in order to use remoteFX USB redirection.

I did read the blog, but it didn't really help.

I have seen blogs stating that vGPU is not a requirement for remoteFX redirection:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/baa92d9e-a950-4d33-b752-51bf0e39d767/remotefx-usb-redirection-prerequistes?forum=winserverTS

Also I would guess requirement have changed from older server OS' to newer.

I really don't look for a full-blown RD VDI solution. Just to be able to enable a client computer and an existing VM to use full USB redirection.

Hi,

If you want to direct local connected USB to Hyper-V guest, turn on enhanced session mode on a Hyper-V host, then, enable RDP to Hyper-V guest, and select attached USB device via RDC ->Local Resources.

Use local resources on Hyper-V virtual machine with VMConnect:

Well, I might do that, if there was connectivity between client computer and hyper-v host network. But there isn't.

I ended up installing an USB-over-ethernet box. This way the USB device is available within the VM.
