(WVD) Windows Virtual Desktop USB Redirection Full
The WVD session hosts are just RDS under the hood. And Big Hand provide terminal services plugin so there shouldn’t be an issue.
We had mixed messages from Big Hand so I would recommend you just ask for the Terminal Services plug-in and don’t necessarily mention WVD as I don’t think they actually know much about it.
Jamesatighe I get that's it's just WVD under the hood to a certain extent, but if you roll this into production and there is a huge issue with the software, or USB redirection starts failing etc... you have to a log a ticket, Big Word would be quite justified to say it's unsupported, potentially leaving you with a huge issue for yourself or the customer.

GrahamCross definitely, I 100% agree with that.
My statement was a "why is it not supported" rather than use it anyway.
We are only looking at a POC at the moment, but ultimately if it is not actually supported then it can't really be rolled into production, which is a shame.
So it seems a full RDS or Citrix environment would be needed. Which is at least double the price and requires so much more infrastructure
Hopefully Big Hand will add support for WVD in the future.
