I have been doing a lot of research on this lately and I am trying to figure out the best configuration and actually get everything to work properly.
Right now, what I have going on is I have a single terminal server which hosts about 30 users at a clip. They only use one application so it's been fine, but now they've added 2 other applications which is starting to bog down the server.
I figured I could just put the load balancing from Server 2008 R2 into the mix. I've been reading a lot of articles that center around the Web Interface. Does this also work if your just using RDP?
I set it up the way I thought it should work and of course, it didn't work. I couldn't RDP at all. I thought maybe it was because I was using TS1 (I have TS1, TS2, and TS3 - All identical in software, etc..) as the session broker? Basically I setup TS1 as the session broker and then pointed TS2 and TS3 as well into the farm. Once I enabled the load balancing checkbox and set all the servers to 100 which was the default. I could no longer log into RDP from externally. I figured that was because of some kind of NAT or something? I haven't been able to find any articles which describe what type of firewall setup I need in order to get this working. Also, I setup the round robin DNS internally, but cannot do that externally. Some of the clients connect via IP so to change that all would require a lot of work.
Please let me know if this can be done how I envisioned it or if something will need to get purchased 3rd party.
Thanks!
