Hi folks
Question on Hyper-V with enhanced session mode. If you connect a USB device (not a storage disk etc but other hardware) the Host grabs it -- even though the Guest can see it. Is it possible to allocate the device exclusively to the VM. I can't make this work -- but is there some power tool command or registry policy settings that allow this or some type of RDP connection rather than using the Hyper-V console.
I have 2 bits of hardware I want for the VM -- a USB wifi device so the VM is accessible via it's own IP rather than on a 172.X.X.X subnet and a USB video capture device. The Host just grabs both of these.
I know Hyper-V was designed primarily for servers etc - not domestic users but it's so much better than Vmware etc I'm sure zillions are using it for Guests even though Vbox and Vmware WKS are both free these days.
Cheers
