OK guys, hope someone can help me out here..
I've inherited a RDS cluster of 5 RDS (SFG-TS-05 .. 09) and one Connection Broker (SFG-FARM) servers and there's some really strange things going on that I can't seem to sort out.
For starters
- All the servers are added to the 'TS Web Access Computer' group
- The connection Broker has all the servers added into the 'RD Web Access Servers' in RD Connection Manager
- All the same Apps are installed on each of the RDS servers
- All the RDS servers have the Apps set to access them through RD Web Access.
- All the RDS serves have RD Session host set to rds-ts-farm.company.com.au
- The Broker and RDS servers all have the same GoDaddy certificate installed and configured for the Digital Security
- There is no RD Gateway as no remote access is needed.
So from all this I gather the session broker simply send users to whichever RDS server has the most resources free (basically laod balancing) and when you RDP into 'rds-ts-farm.company.com.au' it sends you to one of the RDS servers.
This seems to be working fine as there always someone logged into all 5 RDS servers, and I've been told that noone logs into a RDS server directly, they all use the farm address.
ISSUES
No they wanted me to look into the RemoteApp's side of things and setup their windows 7/8 PC's with RemoteApp and Desktop Connections.
If log into the website of servers 5-7 the apps all show up in the programs list and there is no certificate error in IE (It's showing the correct certificate as per setup) when I go to the 'configuration' page. They are setup with the 'An RD Connection Broker Server' and but in the RDS-FARM.company.com.au.
Except server 8&9 they fail all using rds-farm in the connection broker section or rds-ts-5-7 in the sources option. The error is
"RD Web Access was not able to access the RD Connection Broker server specified. Ensure that the computer account of the RD Web Access server is a member of the TS Web Access Computers security group on the RD Connection Broker server."
These 2 servers also have a certificate error when in IE and the certificate is pointing to a local computer certificate not the godaddy one (event though the config says to use the godaddy cert)
I just dont know what to do, I've done what the error asks and they're configured that same, albeite 3mths after the original 3 and connection broker were configured.
Lastly, I've configured a machines RemoteApp and Desktop Connections pointing to rds-ts-farm.company.com.au and it works and shows me the apps and they load up.. but when I try to refresh it 2-3/5 times I try it errors
"The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the remote computer."
So could the RDS 8&9 servers issues be anythign to do with the certificates? As it seems to be a common issue with the setup?
