Hi,
SInce the devices are detected, it's technically possible.
The issue with the normal client drive redirection behaviour is that the client
drive has to be present when the session is initialized and nothing that
changes after that point will work. It's possible there are a couple of
work-arounds but I really haven't looked at the issue very much.
Back to USB-IT though, handling USB memory devices at the server level makes a
huge amount of sense if you want to control what devices are being used and
what they are used for....
I'll send Peter Ghostine an email ;-)
regards,
Rick

Hi Rob,
Provision enabled USB support by redirecting client USB through an
ICA/RDP virtual channel, and then using a virtual USB hub on the server end.
Any client-side USB device is visible to the server.
But this will only work if you have appropriate server-side drivers to
support non-PDA devices. At the moment USB-IT supports palm and blackberry with
full ActiveSync support for all versions due in the next few weeks.
I suspect that if you were to contact Provision, and your need was
finiacially viable for them, it wouldn't take a lot of effort to support the
BodyBugg.

Rick

Happy Thursday to all!
I am looking for feedback on the Provision Networks USB-IT product. Has
anyone used it? Does it work well? Has anyone used it for bi-directional
communication to USB devices other than handhelds? The reason I ask is we are
trying to develop a solution to implement a device at our fitness clubs that
requires 2-way communication between a USB device and a website to upload data
from the device. It's called BodyBugg and it tracks a user's caloric
expenditure which they then upload to the website via USB cable connected to
this device. I want the ability to deploy device communication to each of our
fitness clubs over our existing Citrix MetaFrame XPe 1.0 FR3/SP4 infrastructure
using our existing Wyse Winterm CE-based terminals. My alternative will be to
deploy an embedded XP terminal after loading software on it to support the
device communication, but I really don't want to push out yet another "one-off"
to support this product. I know this is probably not enough information for
anyone to make any serious recommendations, but if anyone knows about any
products that will enable 2-way communication between Citrix and/or Terminal
Server and a USB device, I would love to know about it.
Thanks!!
