Table 5‑22. RDS Connection Server Group Policy Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the farm
name is not specified by Group Policy. In this case, you can
adjust the farm name by using the Remote Desktop Session
Host Configuration tool or the Terminal Services WMI provider.
Note For Windows Server 2008, this policy setting is supported
on at least Windows Server 2008 Standard. This setting is not
effective unless both the "Join RD Connection Broker" and the
"Configure RD Connection Broker server name" settings are
enabled and configured by using Group Policy, the Remote
Desktop Session Host Configuration tool, or the Terminal
Services WMI provider.
Use IP Address Redirection
Use this policy setting to specify the redirection method to use
when a client device reconnects to an existing Remote Desktop
Services session in a load-balanced RDS farm. This setting
applies to an RDS host that is configured to use the Connection
Server on an RDS host and not to the Connection Server on a
remote desktop.
If you enable this policy setting, a Remote Desktop Services
client queries the Connection Server on the RDS host and is
redirected to an existing session by using the IP address of the
RDS host where the session exists. To use this redirection
method, client computers must be able to connect directly by IP
address to the RDS host in the farm.
If you disable this policy setting, the IP address of the RDS host
is not sent to the client. Instead, the IP address is embedded in
a token. When a client reconnects to the load balancer, the
routing token is used to redirect the client to the existing session
on the correct RDS host in the farm. Only disable this setting
when your network load-balancing solution supports the use of
RDS host Connection Server routing tokens and you do not
want clients to directly connect by IP address to the RDS host in
the load-balanced farm.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the "Use IP address
redirection" setting in the Remote Desktop Session Host
Configuration tool is used. By default, this setting in the Remote
Desktop Session Host Configuration tool is enabled.
Note For Windows Server 2008, this policy setting is supported
on at least Windows Server 2008 Standard.
