Just testing View 5.2 - for a possible POC moving forward. We built out the environment as in the VMware Horizon View 5.2 Reviewer's Guide. We are testing with a Win7-32bit base image. After the pool was created we noticed that the VM virtual hardware did not have a USB Controller so we added one not in the base but in one of the pool VM's. Using the View Client on a windows workstation we can connect to our pool and entitled VDI session, but when we attempt to Connect USB Device from top menu we see that No Suitable USB Devices Available. We have checked that the guest does have Universal Serial Bus controllers in Device Manager, and under that has both the VMware View Virtual USB Host Controller and VMware View Virtual USB Hub.
The USB device is a simple Kingston USB Drive. The Host see's it just fine. What are we missing here?
