Will Hyper-V Server 2008 Support USB?

Hello all,

I currently run and use Hyper-V Server 2008 (the standalone free version) and I would LOVE if I could plug in USB devices and pass them through to the virtual machines - the same goes with serial ports and faxing. I tend to stay optimistic, hoping that improvements will come out to better the software (like with any software update or upgrade). I know Hyper-V Server 2008 is version 1, but will there be any support for USB, Serial, and fax services?

There does appear to be a newer version coming out, currently is see that
Microsoft® Hyper-VT Server 2008 R2 Beta is available for download.
Maybe that will answer some of your question.

Hello sir, I have actually read the documentation on the R2 Beta for Hyper-V Server 2008, and it does not highlight USB support. Hopefully a later release will add this support.


Thank you for your reply,
