So Edlindo, it sounds like you are not using the View Connection server to broker your connection to the virtual desktop? Your description leads me to believe that you are setting up an RDP Connection in the Wyse Thin OS Connection manager on your V10L. This is somewhat different than connecting to a vmware virtual destkop using the View COnnection server. This reply applies to Wyse Thin Clients who connect to the virtual desktop using the View Connection server or directly from the V10L using RDP (either way I recommend the Wyse TCX software)
For best results, you will want to purchase a Wyse TCX MultiMedia license for each V10L, otherwise you will soon notice the limitations of the RDP protocol and streaming video. There are three components to the the Wyse TCX Multimedia software:
Client - embedded into the Wyse THin OS on your V10L
Server - the software that is installed into your VMware Virtual Desktop OS - in our case it was Windows XP with SP2; you will defintely want to disable the MMR in the View Agent or you will not be able to install the Server software in your XP desktop. Wyse tech article says to disable in VMware tools (Solution 17175: Wyse TCX - MMR - How to verify if installed in a VMware VM); however I had to remove the Vmware View Agent software from my XP virtual desktop and then reinstall it without the MMR feature)
Wyse TCX Multimedia (MMR) License Key - the Client must find this key in order to activate the software; the key is typically located in the WNOS.ini file that sits on a central FTP server. It can also be entered local onto every V10L
The client software (V10L) will then communicate with the server software (virtual xp desktop) and offload multimedia processing from the RDP session and the virtual desktop (it will now be processed on the V10L). Remember, VMware actually utilized the Wyse TCX MMR software in their View Client (the version for Windows), however Wyse implements their own implementation of the VMware View Client into the Wyse Thin OS on your V10L and based on my experience, it does not contain the necessary USB Redirection, MMR client software - it seems you need the TCX software for a more robust and complete solution.
What you are doing is a disk mapping through RDP from your V10L. That is baked into Wyse's RDP client implementation on the V10L Thin OS
I recall that we paid ~ 25 dollars per Wyse Thin Client TCX license with a purchase commitment of 150 V10L's. SO obviously costs will vary based on how many thin client devices you are buying. If you need to do bi-directional audio (soft phones) or streaming audio, then also get the Wyse TCX Rich Sound software
