Just enable redirection of COM ports on the server, in Terminal
Server Configuration and on the rdp client, in Options - Local
Resources.
You can check the redirection of your COM port from within the
session with the command:
change port /query
This is how it should look like:
AUX = \DosDevices\COM1
COM1 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;COM1:5\tsclient\COM1
COM2 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;COM2:5\tsclient\COM2
COM3 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;COM3:5\tsclient\COM3
LPT1 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;LPT1:5\tsclient\LPT1
PRN = \DosDevices\LPT1
Port COM1-3 and LPT1 are redirected to the ports on the client.
The "5" is the current session id.
If port redirection is not configured, the output will look like
this:
AUX = \DosDevices\COM1
COM1 = \Device\Serial0
COM2 = \Device\Serial1
