Subject: [THIN] USB devices on Windows based clients
Hi guys,
I’ve been fighting with an issue with USB devices on my Windows XP Embedded devices. The problem is (as I’m sure many of you have experienced) that if a user plugs in a device after the ICA session has begun, the session does not detect the device being added. When we used Linux based thin clients this was not an issue, but it appears that the windows based ICA client is unable to provide this feature.
We found a nifty little utility called DynamicUSB (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX112588) that sort of addresses this issue, but the basic premise and the assorted workarounds to make it palatable in our environment is frankly a bit cludgy. I was wondering if others are experiencing similar issues and/or what other methods have been employed to address this.

P.S. Sorry if this is a double post… wasn’t sure if the first one went to the correct address
