Cameras To Redirect Custom RDP Property Does not Work
In mstsc.exe, under Local Resources > More.. there is an option for Video capture devices. Which lists my webcam and Devices that I plug in later. I have determined that this option the an RDP file is the string camerastoredirect:s:* So what I have done is ran the following command on my Connection Broker so that this line will be added to rdp file generated by the feed.
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName $CollectionName -CustomRdpProperty "camerastoredirect:s:*"
When I run Get-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration I see the value has been added to CustomRdpProperty along with "use redirection server name:i:1" which seems to be a default on all collections.
What I am trying to solve is, why does my custom RDP property not apply to the RDP files that are downloaded.

We have exactly the same issue, is there already a solution for this?

I have found a solution for this:
Go to the following location Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms<Farm Name>\RemoteDesktops<Resource Name>\RDPFileContents Export the registry file with the program O&O Regeditor. Make a copy of your backup and edit the copy. Add the following line to the config: camerastoredirect:s:* with notepad plus plus Save the file Import the reg file with O&O Regeditor

Ryan_Janssen Thanks for the tip.
I actually had to create a VBscript because notepad++ wasn't breaking the lines properly.
I'll put the script on my GitHub repo this weekend.
