    We are evaluating NoMachine and it seems to work very well for us. We have been using Windows 10 to Windows 10 connections with USB forwards with good success through our VPN. We cannot get USB devices to forward to AWS Windows Server 2019 (1809). We have tried everything we can think of. Disk Connects also do not connect. All firewalls are turned off. Everything else works perfect. Is there anything else we should know about Server 2019? This is the only difference from our other setups.

    Thanks for any help

    Hi,

    I was able to reproduce this issue on AWS EC2 machines and can confirm that USB device forwarding does not work on it.

    The reason is that in that type of machine Universal Serial Bus Controllers drivers are missing on the Device Manager. Usually, that happens on VM because of USB functionality is disabled in VM’s settings. For now, we are trying to find a solution for that.

    Could you please share some info about what type of VM you use on AWS? And as well as attach a screenshot of Devices Manager?

    Hi Mike, yes, that’s a reason. So for now we try to make it work even if Universal Serial Bus Controllers drivers are missing.

    Also the Drive connections do not work either as a side note.

    Thanks for working on this, it will be a big deal to make this work!

    Hi Steve, Mike,

    I can confirm that this issue is fixed and will be released one release after the next (current release is 6.11.2). If you need a patched package with the fix, please don’t hesitate to ask and we will provide it before the official release.

    Is this fix in the 6.12.3 package?

    If not I would really like to try the update ASAP.

    Thanks

    @Giorgi-G.

    I would still like to try out this update ASAP. I don’t know how to contact you any other way.

    Hi Steve,

    Sorry for belated reply.

    No, as mentioned it will be released “one after next” release, so it’s not included in the current 6.12.3 version. I will prepare for you a 6.12.3 version with the mentioned patch this week and provide it to you.
