Hello all,
We have classrooms based on thin clients (some of them old XP PC's) running rdp to Windows 2008 R2.
I have a budget for upgrade with a very short deadline. My prefered option is to buy Zero Clients (teradici), connect them to the existing servers (RDS with PCOIP).
This would give us a practical interim solution till we can set up a provisioned environment.
We set up a test environment, and this works great for everything but for the flash drives.
The only service we need is for students to be able access their usb "disk on key"s storage. But this service is critical.
After searching the cause of the problem I found Peter Brown's excellent white paper, which states:
USB Redirection and RDS-Hosted Applications and Desktops
Horizon with View does not yet support USB redirection with RDS-hosted applications and desktops, which are
multi-session. USB redirection is supported only with single-session View.
So here is the question. What does mean "not yet" in the above sentence ? If a solution is in sight (till the beginning of the academic year) we can go for this. If not, I really don't know how to work around it.
Any help or insight much appreciated !
