It really depends on what you are wanting to do ...
If you have APM, you can set up a full Virtual Desktop Infrastructure gateway

Otherwise, you can just have a load-balancing passthough with a FastL4 virtual.

Hi, thanks for answering. When you say load balancing passthrogh with a FastL4 virtual, are you saying to use the default normal virtual server setting for RDP too?

Yes. You may need Source Address persistence or something to keep connections to the same server.

What do I use as the Service port on the Virtual Server?

Okay. Then I believe when i create the Virtual server, for the service port i would be using Other: 3389 and the protocol to use will be TCP?
- Simon_BlakelyEmployee
Since RDP uses both UDP and TCP, you need protocol any, or two separate virtual servers for UDP port 3389 and TCP port 3389.
