I have a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server which is acting as an application server. It's running on VMware 5.5. There's another 2012 R2 server instance-domain controller-running as another VM.
Users connect into it using RDP from Windows 7 PCs. One user has a debit card PinPad that connects to one of the PCs via COM1 serial port. This PinPAD used to pass-through to the old terminal server, but the new server does not see it on any of its COM ports.
On the server I have made sure that the OU containing the terminal server has all of the "Disable redirection..." settings DISABLED, and I also set that on the default domain policy.
The client has the appropriate boxes checked to forward local devices in the RDP session shortcut.
This system has a credit card swiper that connects via USB and that works properly.
I did some searching and found a few articles related to this on 2008 but didn't directly help.
Thanks in advance for any help!
