Smartcards over remote USB connections do not work
Error:
If smartcard readers are used that are controlled via a network USB port, either the smartcard or the token on the smartcard itself is not displayed.
Status:
This error occurs whenever the connection is established in an RDP session.
Solution:
The smartcard connection via a network-based USB connection should be established via the Hyper-V Manager or the VMWare Manager via a direct connection to the VM.
