Hello, we have several users that are using V10L thin clients to RDP to our terminal server farm. Each is running Windows Server 2003. Some of them are in need of using an external USB CD-ROM drive or USB stick. I’ve tried everything I can think of to get these to work, but I can’t get them to show up under My Computer in Windows.
Is this even possible? If so, would someone mind showing me the steps to do this? Thanks!
June 13, 2009 at 5:57 am #16095I can’t comment on the CD-ROM, but I am doing this with USB sticks without a hitch with V10Ls and Windows 2008. On the server you will need to have Drive and Supported Plug and Play Devices redirection enabled and you will need the following in your wnos.ini (I assume you know what this is):
SessionConfig=ALL MapDisks=yes
Good luck.
June 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm #16096Bink is perfectly right. USB sticks work flawlessly. CDROMs are not supported with V10L due to the unsupported filesystem. Only FAT and FAT32 is supported. Therefore check if your sticks are eg NTFS formatted.

June 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm #16119Thanks for the info. We’re running Server 2003. Will this still work? The references I’ve found for this all talk about Server 2008.
And yes, I have the MapDisks=yes in the ini. 8)
June 17, 2009 at 9:51 am #16122Works perfectly with Windows 2003.
June 17, 2009 at 5:14 pm #16126Can you point me in the direction of where on the server I can enable Drive and Supported Plug and Play Devices redirection? I can’t seem to find it. 😳
June 17, 2009 at 7:32 pm #16127Check Administrative Tools-Terminal Services Configuration-RDP Listener if Drive mapping is disabled.
WTOS maps drive as floppy drives. So if floppy mapping is disabled somehow it will not work.CG
June 18, 2009 at 2:47 pm #16131Nope, drive mapping is not disabled. The funny thing is if I point the thin client to a non “terminal server” server then the USB drive shows up. But once I point it back to a “terminal server” server then it is gone again.
Weird. At this point, I’m thinking it’s a group policy setting that is being applied to our terminal server OU, but not sure which one…
June 18, 2009 at 7:07 pm #16132Must be a GPO. Nothing else would make sense.

July 1, 2009 at 5:55 pm #16210After much testing, it looks like this might be a system version issue on the thin client now.
On a thin client with system version 6.2.0_08f, when it boots up it shows the following two lines in the system information:
“Found a new Device “Mass Storage” on Port 6″
“D: File system register, type 0xb size 502MB”When this thin client connects to a terminal server, the thumb drive shows up every time under My Computer as “D on name of thin client“
On a thin client with system version 6.3.0_12f, when it boots up it only shows the first line in the system information:
“Found a new Device “Mass Storage” on Port 6″
It never references a drive letter and the thumb drive never shows up on an RDP session.
Anyone know how I can get this to work on the newer system version? Anyone have the older version of the VL10_WNOS file?
Thanks!
July 1, 2009 at 6:28 pm #16211I have no issue with this under 6.3.0_22 (though I have other issues with this firmware). If this truly is an issue with your newer firmware, you can ask Wyse to send you the fixed version or simply downgrade to your older known-good firmware. Since you are already leveraging a wnos.ini environment, changing firmware is very simple.
July 1, 2009 at 7:56 pm #16214Since we’ve been using the newer firmware for months with no issues, it looks like we don’t have a file of the older version anymore. 😳
I just happened to pull this particular thin client off the shelf and it had the older version already on it. The 250+ thin clients we have in production download the newer version from our FTP server after they start up the first time.
Is there a way to copy it from the thin client back to the FTP server?
I’m off to contact WYSE….
July 1, 2009 at 8:44 pm #16215No, you can’t extract the firmware from a WTOS device.
