Redirection of usb devices from hardware isolated virtual desktop infrastructure clients

One or more computer storage media storing computer executable instructions which when executed on a client terminal implement a method for enabling a USB device that is connected to a client terminal to be accessed within a remote session that a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) client establishes on a server when the VDI client runs in a hardware isolated environment on the client terminal, the method comprising:

• in response to the VDI client establishing the remote session on the server, receiving, at a notification service that runs in the hardware isolated environment, connection information for the remote session;
• sending, by the notification service, the connection information for the remote session to a proxy that runs on the client terminal outside the hardware isolated environment;
• employing, by the proxy, the connection information for the remote session to redirect the USB device to the server to thereby cause the USB device to become accessible within the remote session.
