I have a VM on one of my ESXi hosts that has connections to all three of our networks. Is it possible for me to RDP into that Vm using a laptop and allow the VM to access and use devices connected to the laptop? I would like to be able to use a Usb to serial adapter in this case. I can see the device on the laptop, and I have loaded all the drivers on both the laptop and the VM, but the device does not show up in device manager on the VM. I have tried using a laptop with Windows 7 and Windows 10, both ended with the same results. I also went into GPO and allowed COM port redirection on all devices, and while setting up the RDP session I went into local resources and allowed all devices. I can see the Usb to serial adapter if I plug it directly into the host server, unfortunately that doesn't do me much good when i need to connect to a machine on the other side of the building. I am running ESXi 6 and the VM is running Version 11.
