RDS 2012 R2 Load Balancer

Hi,
Does it work with the other microsoft tool: RDCMan?

actualy there is no option to import settings from rpd file and build in support for windows 2012 RDS farm.

As I wrote, there has been dramatically changed setup. In the past (w2k8) you have been connecting to the DNS of the farm, in the wk12 you are connecting directly to the broker server, where is specified to which collection of published apps or desktops you wnat to be routed. Here is syntax of the new RDP file to the collection "Admin Desktops"

loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.(SiteCollectionName)

this row is completly new and that's the reason as well why most of the Thin Client are not compatible with Windows 2012 RDS

We have a field Load balance info in the Advanced RDP settings. Have you tried to edit it with this value?

Yes, I did. I get the message with "embedded windows": Your computer can't connect to the remote computer on the remote computer that you want to connect to. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

With External windows it's call mstsc and then working fine.

Could you send me a working rdp file (you can change the server name) and I will do a compare with what we generate. Use the private message please.

here it is. Servers names is replaced and in signature is aswell some typo

Hi,
I also need the RDM session exported. Sorry about that.

Hello,

I am sorry for delay. Here is exported session from RDM.

Hi guys,

I am sorry for all the trouble. Today I upgrade RDM and in new version is everything working. My mistake - and once again sorry.

Hi,
what version were you using before?

I have used 9.2.6.0

Hi,

Has there been an update on this issue?
We have recently move over to RDS and I am having the same issue.
I can run this as external window and it work , but in embedded it just close with no error.
When I connect directly to one of my session hosts that work but I am losing the load balancing of the solution.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

We have this exact same situation, but unfortunately unable to fix it yet.

We are now running version 12.0.8.0 64-bit, please advice?

Thanks in advance,
Roderick

We haven't find a way to support it embedded. RDCMan has the same problem. That must be use a setting not available in the ActiveX. Sorry about that.

Regards
