you will need to enable iis on the terminal servers and install the isapi plugin to use wmi. At the pool level, assign wmi monitor and dynamic ratio. At the virtual level, assign the msrdp profile for persistence.

 

 

For snmp, substitute the snmp_dca monitor for the wmi monitor. Only requirement on the terminal server for this is a correctly configured snmp agent.

 

 

I'm assuming you know best what your monitor/persistence profile configuration options should be.
