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

  • Article

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 or the Terminal Services Configuration tool. However, you must use Terminal Services Configuration to configure the following settings:

  • The IP addresses to be used for reconnection

  • The relative weight of the server 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 the Terminal Services Configuration snap-in and settings that are made by using the Terminal Services WMI provider.
