View 4.6, USB devices only appearing after a disconnect and reconnect

[Buzlightyear]

We have XPE thin clients which for some reason only will bring up the attached USB devices only once you have disconneted from the session and logged back in.

On the odd occassion it will load first time but 99% of the time it doesnt.

Any Ideas?

This is on RDP not PCOIP.

Thanks

Add a delay statement in startup about 15 seconds  before view client starts.

We experienced the same problem the thin client boots up before all the USB devices are detected and if the

user sits there and logins in before the USB devices are initialized they have to disconnect and reconnect.

Let me know if it fixed your problem.

There is a known issue with the 4.5/4.6 client, if the VMware View USB Control service is not running when the client executable (wswc.exe) is launched then the client does not know that USB functionality is installed. The workaround for now is to delay the client startup as mentioned to ensure the sevice has started first.

What is the best way to add the delay?

DIM objShell
SecondsToDelay = "15"
Wscript.Sleep(SecondsToDelay * 1000)
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run """C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe"""
