Table 5‑19. RDS Connection Server Group Policy Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Configure RD Connection Broker Server name
Use this policy seing to specify the Connection Server that
the RDS host uses to track and redirect user sessions for a
load-balanced RDS farm. The specied RDS host must be
running the Connection Server service. All RDS hosts in a
load-balanced farm should use the same Connection
Server.
If you enable this policy seing, you must specify the
Connection Server for the RDS host, using either its host
name, IP address, or fully qualied domain name. If you
specify a name or IP address for the Connection Server that
is not valid, an error message is logged in Event Viewer on
the RDS host.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, you
can adjust the RDS host Connection Server name or IP
address by using the Remote Desktop Session Host
Conguration tool or the Terminal Services WMI provider.
N
n
For Windows Server 2008, this policy seing is
supported on Windows Server 2008 Standard.
n
This policy seing is not eective unless the "Join RD
Connection Broker" policy seing is enabled or the
RDS host is congured to join the Connection Server
on the RDS host by using the Remote Desktop Session
Host Conguration tool or the Terminal Services WMI
provider.
n
To be an active member of a Connection Server enabled
session on an RDS farm, the computer account for each
RDS host in the farm must be a member of the "Session
Directory Computers" local group on the Connection
Server for the RDS host.
Use RD Connection Broker load balancing
Use this policy seing to specify whether to use the load
balancing feature in Connection Server on an RDS host to
balance the load between servers in an RDS farm.
If you enable this policy seing, Connection Server on an
RDS host redirects users who do not have an existing
session to the RDS host in the farm with the fewest
sessions. Redirection behavior for users with existing
sessions is not aected. If the server is congured to use
Connection Server on an RDS host, users who have an
existing session are redirected to the RDS host where their
session exists.
If you disable this policy seing, users who do not have an
existing session log on to the rst RDS host to which they
connect.
If you do not congure this policy seing, you can
congure the RDS host to participate in Connection Server
load balancing for the RDS host by using the Remote
Desktop Session Host Conguration tool or the Terminal
Services WMI provider.
N If you enable this policy seing, you must also
enable the "Join RD Connection Broker", the "Congure RD
Connection Broker farm name", and the "Congure RD
Connection Broker server name" policy seings.
