The disclosure provides a method for universal naming convention (UNC) path redirection between a local desktop and a remote desktop. The method generally includes selecting, by a client device in an internal network, via an application running on a remote desktop in an external network, to open a UNC path for a resource located in the internal network. A firewall restricts the external network to access the resource located in the internal network. The method generally includes receiving, at the client device, from the remote desktop, via a virtual channel between the external network and the client device in the internal network, a message indicating to open the UNC path. The method generally includes opening, by the client device, via a local application of the client device, the UNC path to access the resource located in the internal network.

Universal naming convention (UNC) path redirection between local system and remote system

The disclosure provides a method of associating thread identifiers (IDs) to input/output (I/O) requests in a remote computing environment. The method generally includes receiving, by a mini-filter on a remote device that is remote from a client device, a request from an application on the remote device to access resources at the client device, determining, by the mini-filter, a thread identifier (ID) associated with the request, the thread ID corresponding to an application thread of the application that generated the request, determining, by the mini-filter, one or more parameters of the request, and transmitting, by the mini-filter, to a redirection server process on the remote device, a message comprising the thread ID and the one or more parameters of the request, wherein the thread ID and the one or more parameters of the request are added to a cache maintained by the redirection server process.

Input/output (I/O) performance in remote computing environments using a mini-filter driver

System and methods are provided for improved directory enumeration on shared client directories in virtual desktops. A merged I/O request containing multiple expected I/O requests for enumerating a directory can be produced on the virtual desktop. The merged I/O request can be conveyed to the client device and a merged I/O response containing multiple I/O responses to the expected I/O requests can be received from the client device. The received I/O responses can be stored in cache memory on the virtual desktop and used to respond to subsequent queries for enumerating the directory on the virtual desktop.

Merged input/output for accelerating directory listing phase in client drive redirection

A method of copying at least first and second files stored in a client computing device to a host server, includes the steps of: generating at the host server a first read I/O request for data of the first file based on responses to pre-read I/O requests for the first file, received from the client computing device; transmitting a merged I/O request that includes the first read I/O request for data of the first file and pre-read I/O requests for the second file from the host server to the client computing device; generating at the host server a second read I/O request for data of the second file based on responses to the pre-read I/O requests for the second file, received from the client computing device; and transmitting the second read I/O request for data of the second file from the host server to the client computing device.
