Hi Stephan,   
any luck to get hold on this issue.   
when I see output of command - show /ltm persistence persist-records mode msrdp all-properties
sometime I see Client Address and sometimes I don't see ?

Sys::Persistent Connections
msrdp - VIP%2:3389 - NODE-1%2:3389
---------------------------------------------------
  TMM           0
  Mode          msrdp
  Value         PSMConnec
  Age (sec.)    21
  Virtual Name  /prod/PIM-PSM-MGT_3389_vs
  Virtual Addr  VIP%2:3389
  Node Addr     Node-1%2:3389
  Pool Name     /prod/PIM-PSM-MGT_3389_pool
  Client Addr   ::
  Owner entry

so at above Client Addr :: some time I see IP addresses and sometime not,or you can see for few connection I see entry blank but for few, IP address mentioned. Surprise

Hi Neeraj, no follow-up with my client yet. So sorry, nothing new to contribute. Regarding your persistence table dump: The persistence table key ("Value") ist "PSMConnec". This is the key to look after when a new MS-RDP connection comes in. Is "PSMConnec" something user specific? If multiple clients will use the same key, they will all be forwarded to Node-1%2 (based on the provided persistence table entry. As you wrote in your previous reply, you modified the .rdp file to force the UserName to be send in the MSTSHASH cookie. Do you see in TCPDUMP a prefix of "PSMConnec" for the username? The F5 obviously only keeps the first 8 characters to persist on. Thanks, Stephan
