Terminal Service Plus

I am sure this topic is somewhere I just can't find it. Is there a way to scan using a local USB scanner attached to the client yet have it scan in to an app run on the TSPlus Server?

Network scanners reached from the local network will work, you just need to install your scanner on the TSplus server so that users will be able to see the scanner within a remote session.

If you install TSplus on a Windows seven pro or 2008/2012/2016, by checking the usb device redirection in your rdp or TSplus client you should be able to see your scanner in the list. Doing so may require you to install the scanner pilot on the TSplus server. However this method might not work for all type of scanners and may require a procedure. Search your scanner constructor website to look for any information about using it in a terminal server / RDS environment.

Another option is to redirect local drives, if you create a folder called "ScannedFiles" within the "mydocuments" folder of the local user, you can make it appear in the remote session by creating the following logon script :

subst Z: \\tsplus\c\Users\NameOfTheUser\MyDocuments\ScannedFiles

By doing so the user will be able to transfer his/her files from his local pc to the server to be used in your application.

I tried to create a network drive with
in my login script, but it does not work.

What is wrong?

There´s a typo:

subst Z: \\tsclient\c\PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_SCANFOLDER

on your TSPLUS-Server.

really without username? not subst Z:\\tsclient\c\users\username\pathtoscanfolder?

depends on what you need.

Hello,

Sorry for the typo.
If you want to have a logon script that you can deploy for any users you could use the %USERNAME% variable.
This could look like this :

subst Y: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\your folder path
