I've got 3 session hosts and 1 GW/broker/all in one 2008 r2 RDS server farm. Their only purpose is to allow clients to RDS into our environment. No virt desktops, no RemoteApp just sessions. We do redirect several folders via GPO, but not full profile - so, I'm thinking we say we don't use roaming profiles. The folders we do redirect SHOULD all land in a Users share on the GW server. and, their user profile SHOULD disappear from the SH when they log off (fail).
My first question is regarding how I set these boxes up in my AD DNS. Currently, I have the IP of the GW and SH servers in DNS all directed to our RDS address, call it RDS.company.com. I have none of the servers added to DNS otherwise. Is this correct? All servers are in the AD Domain, just not in DNS.
Which leads to my 2nd question, RD Connection Broker Config. If I want the RD Conn broker to be managing the connections, wouldn't I want ALL connection attempts to use the GW server? As it is now, if I ping RDS.company.com I will get back one of the four IP's. Doesn't that mean when a user opens an RDP session, types in RDS.company.com they will log into any one of the four IP's associated with that addy?
I'll probably have more ?'s later but my head hurts now. Thanks for any guidance.
