RDS Farm not load balancing

Hello guys,

 

We are using a RDS Farm with 4 Remote Desktop Session Host Servers (W2K8 R2) and one Connection Broker. (LB is disabled through a policy). We are using a F5 LB. We defined a pool in the F5 LB with the 4 Remote Desktop Session Host Servers. Users connect to the farm with a VIP address. The pool in the F5 LB is configured with the Load Balancing Method (Least Connections (member). There are currently 9 connections to the farm. Those connections are not load balanced as i expected. 6 connections to Remote Desktop Session Host Server 1, 1 to server 2, 1 to server 3, 1 to server 4.

 

It seems to be that load balancing is working except for server 1. I would like to know why server 1 is taking a lot more of the sessions then the other servers. Has anyone an idea?

    Tyno81,

     

    What persistence records do you see when you run a "show ltm persistence persist-records mode msrdp all-properties" command from tmsh?

     

    thanks
