I have a Windows XP 32 bit machine and a Server 2008 R2 64bit machine, the server is being used as a cloud server for multiple computers at an optometrist and hosts the data management software that usually interacts with a Topcon camera machine.
I have one PC the XP machine that has a Topcon camera attached to it and uses an RDP session to the cloud server to access the data management software. This machine takes special photos through a camera, this camera is connected to the XP machine using a usb to serial converter so the data comes through a com port. What I need to do is send this data to the server through a serial port. I have noticed under local resources on the RDP connection it 'should' allow me to push throguh the serial port but it's just not hapening. I can get it working on another server I was testing on, a server 2003 OS but just can't seem to make it happen on server 2008 R2.
Does anybody have any ideas as to why this isn't doing what it should?
