I have a client(Windows 7 Pro) that make a connection to Windows terminal server through RDP, i have enabled COM port redirection for both server and client side, but the redirection doesn't happen ...
The client don't have a native mainboard COM port, but have an USB-TO-Serial adapter (Prolific USB-to-Serial), it is possible redirect this USB-TO-Serial COm Port ?

If you're running 2008r2 and win 7 ultimate, you do have the option to look at remotefx USB redirection... to redirect USB devices... or look at 3rd party software like this.

Unfortunately again, the terminal server NEVER sees the "COM3". It seems strange I know, and appreciate... but I believe there is code in the MSTSC to deliberately ignore any & all serial ports associated with a USB adapter. This is true for usb-serial adapters, as well as devices that have serial interfaces (gps receivers & such) I'm currently battling this problem with an embedded gps receiver.

I had a USB-based serial port for a credit card reader that I needed to redirect through RDP. I configured Remote Desktop to make ports available to the remote session. Initially, I had the serial port to COM100 (to easily avoid potential conflicts), and it didn't work. It did work, however, when I changed the port to COM2.
