Turn on Logging for USB Redirection
You can use USB logs to troubleshoot and to determine the product ID and vendor ID of various devices you
plug in to the client system.
You can enable trace logging either just for the current session or across reboots. To enable logging for the
current session, you use a shell command. To enable logging across reboots, add the shell command to the
appropriate prole le.
Prerequisites
If you plan to congure trace logging to persist across system reboots, you must have Administrator or root
permissions on the client system. This prerequisite does not apply if you plan to enable logging for the
current session only.
