    Hello,

    I am trying to configure ThinOS to point directly to our RD Connection Brokers which are setup in HA. We currently only have one RD Web Access server and I do not want to have that as a point of failure for people to be able to connect. We currently use Windows 7 Embedded on all of our Wyse with our predefined RDS connection on the desktop. I want to move them all to ThinOS but not being able to connect directly to the RDCB collection is preventing us from doing this.

    This is our RDS config, how do I translate this to my ini for ThinOS?

    If you are using a wnos.ini file, then add:
    ConnectionBroker=Microsoft Host=RDS.***.CORP
    SignOn=Yes

    I do have Wyse Management Suite installed on a server as well. How would I configure this? RDS.DOMAIN.CORP is setup with DNS round robin to point to RDSCB01 and RDSCB02. In WMS I have the Microsoft Broker configured to use RDS.DOMAIN.CORP as my broker server and the sessions to connect automatically is set to RDS (My collection name). But when I update it on the wyse and try to login it comes back with RD Broker Sign-On failed. Nothing is shown in the logs on why this is failing or that it is even trying to connect.

    For our ThinOS clients we just use the direct RDP configuration and point it to the round-robin name (RDS.DOMAIN.CORP). Seems to work better than using the RD connection broker setup, for us anyway.

    When I try to do that it is connecting directly to the Connection Broker and not going onto one of the RDS Hosts in the farm.

    You have to set up the MS Broker in WMS.
    Open your profile and go to “Microsoft Broker”. Enter the URL of your MS Broker in the field. Remove the direct RDP connection.

    Ok I have that setup, but anytime I try to connect it says RD Broker Sign-On Failed. What could I be missing here? The Event Log does not show anything, and Event Viewer on my CBs do not show any event.

    Make sure that the RDweb role is installed on your broker or a different server. Point the client to that RDweb role.
