12/03/2019, 7:53 PMYou can do this through GPO very easily if you have the VID and PID of the devices. We do it for our Dragon microphones: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX137939
Example of one of our GPO registry entries:
Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\ICA Client\GenericUSB\Devices\VID0554 PID1001
Value: AutoRedirect
Data: 1

12/03/2019, 8:02 PMI was looking at that but it was not working as I would expect it too.. did you do anything with the 'Existing USB Devices' policy for Receiver? I'll take another look at that setting though, maybe I mistyped a pid/vid..

12/03/2019, 8:02 PMWe do, yes. We have it set to display a message to the user and let them select. We don't want all devices automatically redirected.

12/03/2019, 8:03 PMYeah... for this particular group they want it to auto attach, no dialogs.

12/03/2019, 8:04 PMThat AutoRedirect key should do that for you. We set the other policy to prompt, but the reg keys automatically map the devices without user intervention.

12/04/2019, 4:48 PMIn testing it seems the only way for me to get this to work is to remove the catch all within DeviceSettings registry key "ALLOW: # Otherwise allow everything else" and the enable the automatic pass-through attachment via the "Exisiting USB Devices" Citrix Receiver setting. A lot of management overhead with that though, but it seems to be the only selective way

12/07/2019, 7:03 PM@Kevin Schwartzmiller so you only wanting to allow one specific usb device?
You can allow the class and then subclasses of the devices. Then deny the rest. The order i believe will be too to bottom. I wouldn't do it via individual reg settings. Do it will GPO or Studio
Some examples

12/10/2019, 2:04 PM@Ray Davis Thanks for the doc! We're going through it now to see if we can get our scanners (looks like same ones you have) to work on XA 7.15 desktop.
