Hi,

During the installation of the view agent, make sure the usb redirection option is enabled (it is by default, but no harm 2x checking).

Also you should make sure you are using the PCoIP protocol to connect, not RDP. If you use RDP you won't be able to get the usb redirection to work.

PCOIP isn't supported on Terminal Server View pools. I also don't think USB redirection is available but can't find verification of that anymore.
