Cannot redirect USB token - iKey1000 to Windows 7 guest from windows 7 client
Issue
-
Win7 is used as a virtual desktop OS and Windows 7 Pro (on physical PC) as a client OS. Legacy mode of redirection is selected. Also, drivers for iKey are installed on client and virtual desktop systems. However, redirection of this device fails. USB flash drive and other general usb devices can be successfully redirected from client to virtual desktop.
