The smart card is physically connected to the remote (HP) machine with vmware. By assigning the smart card to a virtual machine it is visible and functioning from the vmware console. If I connect to the virtual machine in remote desktop but from the same machine the smart card is working. If I connect to the virtual machine from a different client (from home ...) with the smart card on the remote machine as a peripheral, it is displayed but not recognized and cannot be used for electronic signature. If I move the smart card to the home PC everything works again. I have not found solutions on the various forums. Are there any possibilities to solve the problem?

Hi,
If possible, it is recommended to manually re-install the smart card driver and check the result. In general, we can contact the hardware provider and confirm with them about the driver.
Besides, we want to confirm with you if you establish the RDP session from Windows 10 using MSTSC, or other Remote Desktop Client application?
Best Regards,

Hello and thank you for your interest. I will try to reinstall the original drivers on the virtual machines. The RDP connection is stylized using Windows 10 MSTSC. Best regards.
Hi,

Please let me know if you would like further assistance.

Hi,
As far as I know, this issue is still not resolved at the Microsoft level. This is the access of two machines to one USB. I have not seen a standard solution, but I used this step (https://www.usb-over-ethernet.org/user-guides/smart-card-reader-over-ethernet/) a couple of times to bypass the barriers in remote access to the USB device.
maybe it will help you too. Good luck
Hi,
the problem unfortunately remains. I have updated the drive of the smart reader, but nothing has changed. At this point I believe that the only possible solution may be a microsoft update. I had seen the paid solution but it is not free ... I will switch to remote management other than that provided by microsoft. Thanks anyway for the advice.
