I am trying to connect a Windows 7 Enterprise physical machine (in a workgroup) to a Windows 7 Enterprise virtual machine (on domain) on a Windows Server 2012 host. The VM's are in a personal managed configuration. I have serveral computers that can connect and redirect a USB device via RemoteFX fine. I have a few that will not. On those that do not, when I click on the remoteapp, it gives me the option to redirect audio and other PnP devices, but the RemoteFX checkbox isn't available.
In looking for a solution I stumbled on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2010/11/08/introducing-microsoft-remotefx-usb-redirection-part-3.aspx that talks about checking the USB Root for the file tsusbflt.sys I have done so and that file is not referenced. As such, it would seem that RemoteFX is "not properly installed or enabled" per the language in the article.
On the physical machine I have modified the local group policy as follows (and then rebooted)
- Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Connection Client\RemoteFX USB Device Redirection\Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computers --- Enabled for Administrators and Users
- Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections\Select RDP transport protocols - Enabled Use both UDP and TCP
- Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment\Enable Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0 - Enabled
As such, I would have though I had it configured correctly to work, but as I don't see the tsusbflt.sys referenced... something must be wrong. How can I install/enable RemoteFX device redirection in this situation?
