Great session as usual, although I wish the sound quality in these recent uploads was a bit better.
Regarding Hyper-V USB support, do you (or any of your collegues) have first hand experience in virtualizing workloads where an USB fax modem is involved? I hear that USB over ethernet is not a solution because of the specifics of faxes (some data gets easily lost). I’ve been looking for a solution for this for quite some time and would appreciate your take on it/assistance.
Hi Miha,
thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, in the past few sessions we had some technical issues with microphones. I hope to sort that out.
AFAIK, Microsoft does not have any plans in enabling USB support in Hyper-V. I asked this question several times during some conferences and answer was to get USB to Ethernet adapter. You can check out this article (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2010/06/10/introducing-microsoft-remotefx-usb-redirection-part-1.aspx) to see if it help or obtain some other type of fax service.
Wow, that was fast.
I also haven’t heard anything from MS regarding USB support, but have been looking for a 3rd party product for a while now and haven’t found anything yet. RemoteFX USB Redirection also doesn’t solve this. As it is right now I have a physical box just because I can’t present the USB modem to a VM…such a shame/waste of resources.
