Configure a Terminal Server to Join a Farm in TS Session Broker

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You can configure a terminal server to join a farm in TS Session Broker, and to participate in TS Session Broker Load Balancing, by using Group Policy, Terminal Services Configuration, or the Terminal Services Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider. However, you cannot use Group Policy to configure the following settings:

  • The IP addresses to be used for reconnection.

  • The relative server weight when using TS Session Broker Load Balancing.

For information about how to configure the settings by using Group Policy, see Configure TS Session Broker Settings by Using Group Policy. Configuring the settings by using Group Policy is a recommended best practice.

For information about how to configure the settings by using Terminal Services Configuration, see Configure TS Session Broker Settings by Using Terminal Services Configuration.

Important

Group Policy settings take precedence over configuration settings in Terminal Services Configuration and those made by using the Terminal Services WMI provider.
