USB Device Redirection, Splitting function

[danlaney]

Hi

Hope someone can help

I have managed to split USB Function for Olympus Dr-2300 and it works fine. I have HID (button Control) being mapped over to the desktop whilest the Audio/Micophone/Speaker are left at the local machine. This is working all great, however I am trying to added another device... I have added the bellow VID/PID

Include VID-PID Device

o:vid-07b4_pid-0255;vid-07b4_pid-0256

Split VID-PID Device

o:vid-07b4_pid-0255(exintf:00;exintf:01;exintf:02;exintf:03;exintf:04;exintf:05;exintf:06);vid-07b4_

pid-0255(exintf:00;exintf:01;exintf:02;exintf:03;exintf:04;exintf:05;exintf:06

Once i have applied the above my VM runs really slow and when i try and connect a USB device its says "USB Redirection is not available for this desktop"

I have tried to add the above on thier own they work.

Can some one advise what i might be doing wrong?

many thanks

Hi Dan,

Actually there are two issues:

1. Agent side: We got the same result and failed to get two devices work if set the GPO on agent side. I can confirm that this issue will be addressed in our next agent release.

2. Client side: We did have issue with 2.3 client, and we have fixed it with View client 3.0, and I can make two devices working fine with setting the GPO on 3.0 client side. But it seems you couldn't. So I just want to figure out what's the differences between our envs. Thus I'd like to confirm again, could you please help to check if you are using our latest 3.0 client 32bit: Download VMware Horizon Clients and 64bit: Download VMware Horizon Clients

?

Thanks,

Sarah

Well, OK then. Would you mind sending me (scheng@vmware.com) below logs while you set nothing on agent and set the GPO on client side and see "USB Unavailable" issue? Thanks.

Client:

c:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM\vmware-usbarb-xxxx.txt

C:\Programdata\VMware\VDM\logs\debug-2014-xx-xx-xxxxxx.txt

Agent:

C:\Programdata\VMware\VDM\logs\debug-2014-xx-xx-xxxxxx.txt

Hi Sarah

Thank you for the reply... i have had to change by client machine to a Windows 8.1 Pro. Can you confirm that this will work with USB Filtering, looking to just filter one device now and applying GPO to the client side.

Have this been tested for Windows 8.1

Look forward to your reply

many thanks

If you use 3.0 client, the filter settings should just work fine on Windows 8.1.

Thank you for the reply.. i have get this up and running now.

Can you confirm is USB Filtering is available on MAC or is this just a Windows feature??

Many thanks
