[HELP] PCOIP USB Redirection

Hello,

I've a small homelab in which I use Horizon View. Sometimes I use it over WAN and often I've the need to copy some files to an usb-stick.

I enabled the usb redirection feature in the agent on the vm that I connect to. Also the rules are enabled in the view administrator panel. The group policies

from the domaincontroller are set so that no usb devices are blocked. I've forwarded the redirection port(32111) to the connection server. The problem is,

thet if I start a session with a view client on a windows machine I'm able to print with an printer connected to the client pc, but a usb stick or other hardware doesnt work.

In the top region it also says:"no usb redirection available on this machine". Funny thing is, that the redirection also doesn't work over LAN. Can someone help me solving that problem?

Kind regards

Herb

You should get USB set up correctly for the LAN use case first. Make sure you selected USB redirection on the Horizon Client and Horizon Agent installers. Make sure USB redirection is enabled for the Pool.

Once it works on the LAN, test it on the WAN. USB redirection on port 32111 either goes directly from Client to Agent, or if you are using the tunnel on Connection Server, the tunnel is on 443 between client and Connection Server and then 32111 from Connection Server to Agent machine.

The admin guide and architecture and planning guide has good information on all of this.
