Hello,
I am using a Sun Ray Thin client (from Sun) to connect to a Windows XP VM running under ESXi. I know the Sun Ray supports USB and will redirect the local USB ports on the Sun Ray via RDP to the Windows XP VM. Making the USB ports work on the Sun Ray when connecting to a desktop (not a VM) is easy and works well.
I am aware that ESX does not support USB and that a Windows VM will not copy over the USB files when installed under ESX. Because the Windows XP VM has no USB Controller (USB Root Hub) I can't get the USB redirection to work with my Thin Client. I am wondering if anyone has a solution to make Thin client USB ports work when connecting to a Windows XP VM under ESX? If I could get a USB Controller (USB Root Hub) installed on the Windows XP VM then I think the redirection would work. Does anyone know how to add the USB Controller or the USB Root Hub to a Windows XP VM under ESX or ESXi? Any help would be great!
Thanks
Bryan
