A lot of reader devices actually report themselves as human interface devices (HIDs), and then send keystrokes representing the data. If that's the case here then it will be filtered, as by default we don't redirect HIDs - see a similar post here: Help Please: View 5 will not redirect USB HID (Digital Scale)

What kind of device is it? Is it a smart card? Please enable the device through GPO by following the steps below.

1. From Horizon View Agent download page, download GPO Bundles.

2. Import vdm_client.adm to your client PC.

3. If it is a smart card device, please set Allow Smart Cards as true

4. It doesn't matter if you don't know whether it is a smart card, you can just set Include Vid/Pid Device as vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy, you can find vid and pid from Device Properties of Device Manager, the format should be like vid-0781_pid-9999.

You can also set the GPO on agent side in similiar way. Let me know if it helps.
