Enabled RemoteFX locally on a non domain joined computer

Leave a reply

For some reason RemoteFX USB Redirection is not enabled standard in Windows.

So what to do with a non domain joined computer, you can change GPO from the Active Directory.

That is not a problem, you can run GPEDIT from the client.

Right click on start, and select Run

And click OK

Now browse to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Connection Client -> RemoteFX USB Device Redirection

Dobble click on “Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB desvices from this computer”

And change the settings to Enabled, and choice Adminstrators and Users.
Click ok

Now restart you computer, and you should now have enabled RemoteFX.

If you have Installed Skype for Business and have enabled RemoteFX.

You might still find that Skype for Business is saying that it using Remote Audio, even if you have redirected you USB headset.

This can be changed, by running this command on in a Administrator Powershell.

Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "YourCollectionName" -CustomRdpProperty "use re
direction server name:i:1 `n usbdevicestoredirect:s:* `n audiocapturemode:i:1 `n audiomode:i:1"

After this go to yours RDWeb page, and download a new RDP fil, and connect with you new RDP file.

After that Skype should say that is using you USB Headset.

Remember to select that you will redirect you USB Headset.
