Hi,
We have an existing RDS 2008 farm which is configured with 1 Connection Broker and two Session Host servers. There is a single name record (rdfarm) that RR to Session Host 1 and Session Host 2. The users open a mstsc and type "rdfarm" and they are connecting to session host 1 or session host 2.
I have been told that the broker server is managing the connections but I don't know how? Like I said they mstsc to "rdfarm" directly and no Connection Broker is specified anywhere.
Are they really using the Connection Broker server?
My understanding in Windows 2012 RDS is that in a scenario where you have 1 Connection Broker and 2 RDSH that if a broker wants to be used to establish the connections then the RDP settings have to be modified (Explained in this blog). Otherwise the only way to avoid changing the settings will be using the RDP through the Web Access.
Is this different in RDS 2008? I am totally confused can someone please help me understand.
Thank you!
