Remote Service VDI with DSC USB token

Question

Please i am trying to resolve an issue for a client on VDI.

I have deployed RDS with a Personal Based VDI. Now client wants to make use of DSC USB token.

Is DSC USB token supported on VDI so client make use of it? if possible how can i enable it because i have tried resolving this but can't. I have tried using group policy and forwarding RemoteFX.

"My Setup consist of a physical sever as AD DS with 3 virtual server(VM) as RD Broker and RD Virtualization and RD Gateway. currently about 5 VDI."

I really will appreciate any response or advice, maybe i did not set up properly.

Best Regards.

Hello OsmanAkin,

You still can manipulate these settings to share USB devices with VDI, using the Set-RdsHostPool cmdlet with the -CustomRdpProperty parameter.

https:// docs. microsoft. com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/customize-rdp-properties

If you look at the supported settings, you will find the drivestoredirect setting, controlling the drive mappings. If you set this CustomRdpProperty to drivestoredirect:s:*, all new devices should be available as well

https:// docs. microsoft.c om/en-gb/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/rdp-files

On the other hand, if you run a test with other USB devices and they are successful, there is the possibility that you may need to install some driver, partial key certificate or certificate tools in the VDI session in order to work correctly and be detected. For this, would be recommended to get in touch with the manufacturer of the device in order to understand the mechanisms needed for the device to be detected successfully.
