Table 5‑22. RDS Connection Server Group Policy Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Configure RD Connection Broker Server name
Use this policy setting to specify the Connection Server that the
RDS host uses to track and redirect user sessions for a load-
balanced RDS farm. The specified 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 setting, you must specify the
Connection Server for the RDS host, using either its host name,
IP address, or fully qualified 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 configure this policy setting, you can
adjust the RDS host Connection Server name or IP address by
using the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool or
the Terminal Services WMI provider.
Note
n
For Windows Server 2008, this policy setting is supported
on Windows Server 2008 Standard.
n
This policy setting is not effective unless the "Join RD
Connection Broker" policy setting is enabled or the RDS
host is configured to join the Connection Server on the RDS
host by using the Remote Desktop Session Host
Configuration 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 setting 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 setting, 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 affected. If the
server is configured 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 setting, users who do not have an
existing session log on to the first RDS host to which they
connect.
If you do not configure this policy setting, you can configure the
RDS host to participate in Connection Server load balancing for
the RDS host by using the Remote Desktop Session Host
Configuration tool or the Terminal Services WMI provider.
Note If you enable this policy setting, you must also enable the
"Join RD Connection Broker", the "Configure RD Connection
Broker farm name", and the "Configure RD Connection Broker
server name" policy settings.
