I was on that page, however I m not sure why they have USB on the command, what do they mean by USB , do they call thin client USB device ?

-ConnectUSBOnStartup - redirects all USB devices to the desktop that are currently connected to the host.

-ConnectUSBOnInsert - connects a USB device to the foreground desktop when you plug in the device.[code]

Select allOpen in new window

[/code]

All USB devices on the thin client device are re-directed to the VM.

Any USB device inserted on the thin client device will be connected in the VM.

If there are no USB ports or USB devices on the thin client then it will do nothing.

So if you insert USB thumb drive that has an OS image  and restart the thin client what will happen if we consider these 2 lines below:

-ConnectUSBOnStartup - redirects all USB devices to the desktop that are currently connected to the host.

-ConnectUSBOnInsert - connects a USB device to the foreground desktop when you plug in the device.

Select allOpen in new window

Thank you for the Information

not a problem.

Season Greetings and Happy Holidays.
