Hi John, this is an interesting question - what scenarios would having this capability in Windows Server enable? Are you blocked by not having this capability?

      Could you help me to understand more? Are you trying to get data to/from medical devices to/from Windows Server? Why can't you use a standard protocol like SMB or NFS? Why does USB plug-and-play not work for your scenarios?
