I'm trying to get USB redirection to work with some hyperV VMs, and it seems like I've hit a wall with it. I've been following most of the steps here, and I still can't get USB devices to appear. First, the system details:
- VM Host:Server 2012 Datacenter with HyperV
- VM host has Remote Desktop Services, with Remote App Management, RD Connection broker, RDMS, Remote Desktop Services, Remote desktop virtualization host agent
- VM guest is Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1
- Remote desktop client is Windows 8 Professional
I've set up the client policy, and remoted in selecting the devices I want to redirect (USB Phone for Lync), and tried all combinations of selecting what to do with remote audio. It looks like it needs to bring remote audio local, and record locally, but doing that lets me do high level redirection, but not use the USB devices.
Is there anything else that I need to configure on this platform to get it to work? Should I be able to get a USB headset to work with a remote Lync in this case? What I'd like to do is have 2 remote desktop connections at once, each on a different USB device so I can test calls between them. Is this even possible? It seems like it should be.
Thanks for the help!
