Great article! I'm using it right now to troubleshoot a crazy issue!

I have 3 x 2008 TS clustered via NLB and Session Broker. However, whenever I login it kicks me out and asks me to login again. I do and then it goes in fine. Why do I have to login to it twice!?

Thanks again!

Hi,

The article was very enlightening

I have one question:

In a previous post it was stated that in order to have a redundant session broker, the service needs to be installed on a cluster.

And yet I found out today that the tssdis service won't start when the cluster service is started.

It exits and the log just states the following:

NEW INSTANCE

4444: 20:26:54 INFO: Session Broker plugin is not registered

4444: 20:26:54 Unable to find the resource with service name tssdis

When the cluster service is down, the tssdis service starts splendidly.

Also there is no documentation on how to cluster the session broker on 2008 server.

Any input would be greatly apreciated

Thanks!

Hi. Can you guys tell me why the TS Broker service suddenly "stops" working? We have 3 Terminal servers in our farm the terminal server broker role installed on one of the domain controllers.

It works great in a couple of weeks and the load (sessions) is evenly diveded between the 3 servers but suddently it seems like one of the servers is no longer a part of the farm and all sessions is placed on the 2 remaining servers.

The only solution i have found is to restart the server which isnt getting any sessions and restart the TS Broker service on the domain controller.

The servers all run server 2008 standard

Hi guys,

I have looked in msdn about Win32_SessionDirectorySession class (its description is in the file

%systemroot%\system32\wbem\tssdwmi.mof file) in Windows Server 2008 DataCenter.

When I am using WMI query: SELECT * FROM Win32_SessionDirectorySession

I receive error: "80041024 Provider is not capable of the attempted operation."

In the same time queries to such classes as Win32_SessionDirectoryCluster and Win32_SessionDirectoryServer

are executing fine.

But there are some differences of the (Win32_SessionDirectoryCluster, Win32_SessionDirectoryServer) and Win32_SessionDirectorySession interface in the file tssdwmi.mof.

Maybe I need to install smth for working of Win32_SessionDirectorySession class?

TS Session Broker is installed and works with queries on the classes Win32_SessionDirectoryCluster and Win32_SessionDirectoryServer.

Have you any ideas about that?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you.
