Title: Device availability
Post by batman on Mar 26th, 2008, 4:59pm
I like the simplicity of USB for RDP, it is much simpler to the user...

But i have a question, it would be even much simpler and idiot proof, if there is a way for the workstation (with the USB local devices) to indicate to the RDP session that its devices are available ONLY to its OWN RDP session.

Let me rephrase:
I am having a problem seeing how i can deploy this, knowing that ALL local devices from ALL workstatios are available on the terminal server to ALL users who are CONNECTED at any and all times....

Example:
. 2 workstation users with 2 disctinct scanners one scanner on each desk
. these 2 users RDP to a termial server and they use an application with scanner ability.
. Now, as these 2 users are running the application, and now BOTH scanner are visible to both users... user and application will have a problem deciding and using the scanner on their own desk.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Hi,

Yes, really, that's very interesting feature. And as soon as we implement it, we'll let to know about it.

Thanks!
