I’m not mapping it to the port on the host – to a port on a W7 RD client.
So …. W7 computer has something connected to COM 1 (serial connection for a card reader) Card reader software is installed on W7 VM (hosted on W2012R2 Hyper-V) I need to access the card reader software using Remote Desktop from the W7 computer and have it see the connection to the hardware I keep finding references to mapping com ports using named pipes, but I can’t figure out exactly how to do that CFee From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew S.
