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

Terminal Servers with large number of users working via Remote Desktop are very often used in corporate environments. Sometimes users need to use their individual USB devices inside their RDP session. Our product USB Redirector TS Edition helps to redirect the devices into the remote session!

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

Windows normally treats all USB devices as a system-wide resource. It means USB devices 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:

• USB Mass Storage devices - USB Flash Drives, USB Hard Drives, etc.
• USB HID devices - USB Signature Pads, USB Footpedals, some USB Fingerprint Readers, some USB Smart Card Readers, USB Keyboards, USB Mouses, USB Touchpads, etc.
