I guess I'm not too familiar with RDS farms. I've managed a good number of terminal servers in my day, but haven't setup a RDS farm.
Any quick info you can give me on how the farms operate, as opposed to not having them? What does the RDP connection broker actually do? Jesse Rink Source One Technology, Inc.

When I need to connect directly to one of my servers part of the RDS "farm" I use mstsc /admin. ;-) Regards, Gabriel Moga From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jesse Rink Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2015 8:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] RDPing into the wrong IP address Having trouble understanding this one... I have a customer with (3) 2008 R2 servers all running RDS-terminal services. RDS1 - 10.1.3.7 RDS2 - 10.1.3.8 RDS3 - 10.1.3.9 Here's the weirdness. For example, * If I try to RDP into 10.1.3.7 (by IP address!! not by hostname), I actually get logged into 10.1.3.8 * If I try to RDP into 10.1.3.8 (by IP address!! not by hostname), I actually get logged into 10.1.3.9 * If I try to RDP into 10.1.3.9 (by IP address!! not by hostname), I actually get logged into 10.1.3.7 I am on the same local subnet as those servers, so I've ruled out something like the firewall or router having some weird redirect... Also pretty much ruled out some weird DNS issue because I'm attempting to access them via IP, not hostname. Another oddity is, when accessing \\CEO-RDS01\c$<file:///\\CEO-RDS01\c$> , I do get the proper server (so it's not redirected then.....), and same thing for the other two servers, accessing their UNC paths takes me to the correct servers. I thought perhaps some old/retired RD Gateway settings or something, but none of the 3 servers have RD Gateway services installed/running. Mainly it just seems to be when accessing the servers via IP address using RDP that I get connected to a server I shouldn't. The only way I can get onto the specific server is from the VMWare vSphere Client. Weird. Any ideas? JR
