RDP v8.0 on Windows 7 sp1 but no USB Redirection

I have a Windows 7 Enterprise (with sp1) VM running on Windows Server 2012 running Hyper-V.

I've installed the RDP v8.0 update and assocaited hotfix on the VM but when I connect to it from a physical Windows 7 (with sp1) machine, that is patched in the same way, I'm not seeing the local USB devices being re-directed to the VM.

I've tried adding the "usbdevicestoredirect:s:*" entry into the RDP file but this doesn't make any difference.

I can see the devices listed in the local RDP client under the "Other Supported RemoteFX devices" but when I connect to the VM they don't appear. I was under the impression that the enhanced USB Redirection was a feature of RDP v8.0 but maybe I need to install the Virutalization Host role on the 2012 server in order to get this feature to work?

Cheers for now

Russell
