Enabled RemoteFX locally on a non domain joined computer

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.

Change RDWEB to not redirect sound to client

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.

RemoteFX not working anymore

Today I have this problem, that no matter what I do. I could get RemoteFX to work.
The strange things is it where working yesterday, and no one will admit that the have changed anything.
And no windows update have been installed.
I was going into debugging, and for some reason I so this registry was set to 0
HKLM -> Software -> Policies -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> Terminal Services -> fDisableCam


Normally it is not configure on a RDS Session Host server.
So I deleted it, rebooted the server and RemoteFX is now working again.
