RDP Persistence -- Change Userid

We have configured BIG-IP to load balance Windows Terminal Servers using session directory and MSRDP persistence. This works very well.

 

 

However, there are many WBT terminal units where RDP pre-populates the logon userid with the same userid called "SkinnyNT". All these units persist to the same server.

 

 

Can we write an iRule that looks for userid called "SkinnyNT" and replace it with a blank userid which is no userid at all, thus prompting the user to login using their unique user id. This would avoid having to re-call and re-configure all these WBT units.

 

 

In looking at some of the RDP iRules I think this might be possible.

 

 

  • I have run into this problem as well when using the username. Check the post below for an alternative solution. This could probably be cleaned up to use pool members instead of nodes so that you get accurate counts for lb decisions
