Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker), formerly Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session Broker), is a role service that provides the following functionality:
- Allows users to reconnect to their existing
sessions in a load-balanced RD Session Host server farm. This
prevents a user with a disconnected session from being connected to
a different RD Session Host server in the farm and starting a
new session.
- Enables you to evenly distribute the session
load among RD Session Host servers in a load-balanced
RD Session Host server farm.
- Provides users access to virtual desktops
hosted on RD Virtualization Host servers and to RemoteApp
programs hosted on RD Session Host servers through RemoteApp
and Desktop Connection.
