Hi,
We have an RDS 2012 R2 deployment with two RD Session Hosts where one (rds01) is running the Connection Broker. We also have a load balancer in front of the RD environment, with a LB IP (10.33.12.26).
The problem we have is that users are not reconnected to their existing session if their new connection attempt is not done against the same RD SH.
I have checked the Connection Broker event log, and can see that it finds the existing connection, but the new connection is still done to the wrong server.
Log from the first connect, without existing connection:
RD Connection Broker received connection request for user DOMAIN\user.
Hints in the RDP file (TSV URL) = tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.RDS
Initial Application = NULL
Call came from Redirector Server = rds02.domain.local
Redirector is configured as Farm member
RD Connection Broker successfully processed the connection request for user DOMAIN\user. Redirection info:
Target Name = RDS02
Target IP Address = 10.33.12.26, 10.33.12.32
Target Netbios = RDS02
Target FQDN = rds02.domain.local
Disconnected Session Found = 0x0
Session for user DOMAIN\local successfully added to RD Connection Broker's database.
Target Name = rds02.domain.local
Session ID = 18
Farm Name = RDS
This connection request has resulted in a successful session logon (User successfully logged on to the end point). Remote Desktop Connection Broker will stop monitoring this connection request.
I then disconnected the session, and made a new connection with the same user, which ended up on the other machine.
RD Connection Broker received connection request for user DOMAIN\user.

Disconnected Session Found = 0x1

I might have missed something obvious, but I haven't found the cause. Is the problem that the LB IP is listed in the Target IP Address, so the client might be instructed to connect to that IP? IN that case, can I control which IP addresses should be included in the Target IP Address list?
