Day Twenty-Five. It's Monday morning - hopefully those of you returning from your weekends got some time to rest and relax. Only two days to go until the launch of Windows Server 2008. Today we're going to continue on from yesterday's post on Terminal Server Session Broker and look specifically at Session Broker Load Balancing. So sit back, grab your coffee or tea (or if you're like me, your bottle of water) and let's begin ...
Windows Server 2008 Session Broker provides the same cross-server session reconnection capability as Windows Server 2003 Session Directory. Windows Server 2008 Session Broker provides some additional features such as a load-balancing capability as well as the ability to gracefully "drain" servers prior to scheduled maintenance. Windows Server 2008 Session Broker can be run with Session Broker Load Balancing disabled - which would then function in a similar mode to Windows Server 2003 Session Directory.
