Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
That last screen shot was the options from the printer icon on the blue bar on the top of the remote now that all is set up. The more option when opening the remote desktop:

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
I just followed the gpedit process previously posted but it’s not working for me, I’m also running Windows Enterprise and can’t figure why it isn’t working. Do you have any advice?

Does anyone know if this works between two windows 10 enterprise clients with the use of a server or VDI?
Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
You need to follow the instructions on both of the posts from demarcjp and Utash. I followed the first one and it didn't work until I followed the second. If you get stuck let me know what the issue is if you can.

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
I got the RDP portion to work. I can go to local resources > more and the category for other supported RemoteFX usb devices. Even lists "USB Input Device (3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro) but when I connect to the remote pc with RDP, it's not forwarding. Driver is installed on both machines, works fine on the local pc it's plugged into, but the remote pc doesn't see it
Is there something I'm missing?
Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
There should be a blue connection bar at the top of your remote desktop screen. You can unpin it but I have left it visible at all time. At the top left I have 4 icons. Before setting the 3d mouse up I only had 3. The new one is the printer icon to the right of the connection strength bars icon. When I login I need to select the printer icon and tick the 3d mouse tick box.flowerfox22 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 12:16 pmI got the RDP portion to work.

If you haven't got this icon then there is an issue we can start to have a look at. It may be necessary for me to screen print each host and client dp edit setting relating to getting this to work.

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
ahh okay, I don't have the printer icon on that bar so I guess that's why. I'll play around a bit more too with some other settings to see if I can get that to appear and let you knowThere should be a blue connection bar at the top of your remote desktop screen.

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
Okay, I have done a lot of googling and made a lot of changes to local group policy and rdp settings but I still can't get the printer button to appear on the rdp connection bar, any help would be greatly appreciated!flowerfox22 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 7:48 amahh okay, I don't have the printer icon on that bar so I guess that's why.

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
Have you restarted both the host and client machines (may need to do a power down?). I typed gpudate/ force at the command prompt on both machines so that I didn't need to do a shutdown or restart as I didn't want to go to work to potentially switch my pc on. When you type gpupdate/ force at the command prompt it should tell you if you have been successful in updating the GPOflowerfox22 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 7:46 amOkay, I have done a lot of googling and made a lot of changes to local group policy and rdp settings but I still can't get the printer button to appear on the rdp connection bar, any help would be greatly appreciated!flowerfox22 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 7:48 amahh okay, I don't have the printer icon on that bar so I guess that's why.

I should have mentioned that I did this to force the settings that I had changed to take effect.weymouth wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 7:53 amHave you restarted both the host and client machines (may need to do a power down?).

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
I did gpupdate /force and rebooted previously. Tried again just now too but still same result. Only icons I see on the connection bar on the left are the pin and the signal bars. I'm guessing there's something else that's needed for the printer icon to show, perhaps a windows update or another policy setting? Not really sure, also couldn't find anything on how to get that printer button/icon to appear after searching google for a whileweymouth wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 7:53 amHave you restarted both the host and client machines (may need to do a power down?).

Like I said before I think I will need to provide a full list of both client and host settings that were changed maybe with screenshots. I will do this when I get the chance.

Re: Remote Desktop use of local Space Navigator
Here are the two settings required on host computer and how to get there. This is on my computer at work (host) with my computer at home (client) that I am using with my 3d mouse
Other Notes:
1. Install 3d mouse driver on both host and client.
2. If you ever need an instant update on either machine of changes that you make to group policy editor (gepdit) type gpupdate /force at the the command prompt.
3. When opening the Remote Desktop, always check all options including in the drop down menu and tick all boxes.
Hopefully 7 images will be posted
