Hi,
Please see the following quote from the VMware View Manager pdf
"View Extended USB Device Redirection
View allows the redirection of a variety of locally attached USB devices for software
that run on a user’s virtual desktop. Suitable devices, when attached, can be selected
from a dynamic drop‐down menu in View Client. Devices attached after the virtual
desktop session starts will appear in the menu and are available for redirection after
being initialized.
Some devices, such as printers, local USB flash drives, and smart cards, can be
forwarded to the virtual desktop using standard Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol
(RDP). But View Client USB redirection extends the range of usable devices and the
functionality of some devices beyond that provided by RDP. For example, sound can be
brought to the local machine using RDP, but disabling this feature and using View USB
redirection allows you to use VoIP devices.
View USB redirection is initiated after the user is authenticated. Because of this, smart
card forwarding is limited to RDP functionality so that smart cards can be used to
authenticate the virtual desktop session. As a result, these devices do not appear in the
View Client devices menu. Human interface devices (HIDs), such as a keyboard or a
mouse, are also filtered from the USB device list because these devices are required
locally and function without being forwarded or redirected.
RDP forwarding and View USB redirection can be governed through Active Directory
Group Policy and View Administrator. Using View USB redirection requires View
Client, View Agent, and the user to have administration rights on the View Client and
the View Agent operating systems."
There is no limit's set in this description and I have not seen any information on limitations of redirection during deployments as yet.
