We are using thick clients to access the desktops in view and i can't seem to be able to access the cdrom on the thck client. The are internal USB drives from a Dell optiple 620 Ultra Small Form Factor computer that we are using. Should i be able to access the drive? Any help is appreciated.

Are you using RDP or PCoIP?

RDP will use the built-in drive redirection and should work but PCoIP does not support this feature yet.

Got it! Thanks. Don't they think thatwould be a great featre to have in PCoIP? Oh well guess we have to wait. We utilize multiple monitors so we need PCoIP. We had to wait a while just to get that.

I believe it is being considered for a future release.

I would file a feature request using the Feature Request form available here:

http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/feature.html

These feature submissions are definitely considered and the more requests that we receive regarding a specific feature the higher on our priority list they will start to climb.
