Thin client has USB Scanner connected to it. RDP from there to Vmware machine, USB not picking up.

hi guys

I've got a WYSE thin client terminal. To the back of this terminal is attached a USB Skorpio scanner. On the device manager of this thin client I can see the scanner on there.

I'm using RDP on the thin client to connect to a virtual machine on our network. I would like this USB Skorpio scanner to get picked up. It isn't at the moment and I don't know whether I am supposed to do anything? I was told this WYSE thin client supports USB passthrough.

Any ideas on any changes I have to make on the virtual machine?

Thanks for helping

Hi Andy

Thanks matey for the heads up.

I have Vmware Horizon client sitting on the WYSE client. Can I use that to connect to the virtual machine? As I tried putting the IP address in and it didn't connect.

Thanks
Yash
You will need the VMware Horizon View infrastructure , for the VMware Horizon View  Client to connect to!
