Redirection of USB devices in multi-user environment on large Terminal Server systems

The large Terminal Servers with a huge number of users working via Remote Desktop on these servers are very often used in corporate environment. Sometimes users need to redirect their individual USB devices to the server and use them in RDP session. Our product USB Redirector TS Edition solves this problem!

 

Resolving a problem with isolation of users' USB devices in their RDP session

Normally, in Windows, all the USB devices attached to the computer are treated as global. They are visible to all users. This becomes a problem when working in multi-user environment of Terminal Server. Although Windows provides means to control access to the system objects, including devices, this is generally not enough to assign a particular device to a particular user. With the help of our new unique per-session device isolation feature, it is possible to partially solve the problem. USB Redirector can isolate users' USB devices in their RDP session, so that they are not accessible or visible by other users.

 

Isolation is currently supported for the following devices:

•Mass Storage devices - USB Flash Drives, USB Hard Drives, etc.

•HID devices - USB Signature Pads, USB Footpedals, some USB Fingerprint Readers, some USB Smart Card Readers, USB Keyboards, USB Mouses, USB Touchpads, etc.

 

USB Redirector TS Edition works as a background service, this means you don't have to keep the app open all the time. Once you have finished configuring the program, you can safely close it. USB Redirector will continue to work even after reboot.

• Step 1: Install USB Redirector TS Edition (Workstation part) on a workstation or thin-client PC, where USB devices are physically plugged.
• Step 2: Install USB Redirector TS Edition (Server part) on the Terminal Server where you wish to connect your USB devices remotely.
• Step 3: Share a required USB device on Workstation.

NOTICE:　After USB device is as shared, it can not be used locally, because USB device is acquired for individual usage by remote USB clients!

• Step 4: Start Remote Desktop Client and Login to the Terminal Server.

 

USB device will be connected automaticaly.

• Result: Now you can use the USB device on remote machine just like it was plugged there directly.
