Hi Judge,

Thank you for posting!

The terminal services redirects the local posts to the Terminal Server only
for printing. In Windows Server Terminal Services, a client's local printer
ports are redirected when you establish a Terminal Services session. After
a connection is established, the following procedure occurs:

1. The list of local printers (COM, LPT, and USB) on the client is
   enumerated from the registry.

2. Printer driver string names on the client are queried.

3. The driver string names are compared to currently installed printers
   for matching driver names.

4. If the server has a matching string for a currently installed
   driver, the printer is redirected.

5. If the server does not find a matching driver name from those
   drivers that are currently installed, the server checks for a matching
   string name in Ntprint.inf. If a match is found, the server extracts
   and installs the driver from the Driver.cab file on the server, and
   then the server redirects the client printer that is using that driver.

6. If the server does not find a matching driver name in Ntprint.inf, it
does not redirect the client printer, and an event that states that the
printer could not be redirected is logged.

So, it will not redirect the digitizer and other devices. If you need to
use the
digitizer in the terminal session, you may need to contact the manufacturer
to check if their driver supports it. Also, you may search the Internet to
find some third-party tools.

To see the redirected posts for printers, you may open the Printers folder
and check File->Server Properties.

Hope this helps!

| Hello all!
| I'm trying to setup a Windows XP Pro system to access Terminal Server
| on Windows Server 2003. I've got the client options set so that the
| serial ports are available in the session. Is there anywhere within
| the Terminal Server I can see those ports? Like in the printers folder
| I can see the printer ports of the clients. I'm trying to configure
| this workstation so that it can use a digitizer, which is serial
| port-based.
| Thanks!
