Remote Desktop Services - Session Host Load Balancing Algorithm

Is there any documentation and/or options to modify the load balancing algorithm between session host servers in an RDS Pool? Does it work with least connections, round robin, check cpu/ram load, etc.?

OK. But is there a built-in algorithm that works? Like round-robin, least connections, etc.

Sometimes i have a SH server with no users and I get connected to a server which already has 5+ users.

You can adjust the relative weight on your collection properties / load balancing (in Server Manager)

A higher value = more client connections
A lower value = less client connections

Ex:
Server1 has a relative weight of 100
Server2 has a relative weight of 1000
Server2 will receive 10 clients while server1 will receive 1 client

You can also use Powershell to configure load balancing

I think it's the only way to manage client connections on your RDSH Servers

Don't think so. That's for Azure.
