RDS 2008 / Session Broker

I have 2 Windows 2008 RDS server with one session broker (the broker is the first 2008 RDS).

When clients connects to the RDS Farm, Load balancing work; users are load balanced to first or second server.

My problem is that when an user is disconnected, the broker never remember where the client was connected, so the client is redirected to the second server and a new desktop is created....

Have you an idea to fix user on one RDS server ?

Thanks. Do you think there is a way to always force user1 to connect to server1 ? For exemple, if user1 connect to server1 and disconnect for 1 week; on the next connection, i want user reconnect to server1 ?

I don't want to use folder redirect (if possible), so, i want to fix user to One server...
If the user is an administrator, you could start the RDP connection by typing this in at a cmd prompt or in the RUN field:  mstsc /admin

(with older RDP clients on XP & Server 2003, the command used to be:  mstsc /console)
That will log the user on to the console session of the server: that is one way to force a user to logon to a particular server.

If giving the user admin rights isn't in the cards, try connecting to the server using the IP rather than the farm name.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer at the job where we used Session Broker so I'm going from memory here and can't test out any scenarios.
Is this for Server 2008 or 2008 R2?

Go through the checklist below that applies to you and confirm that your environment has been set up correct.

There is no real solution. In fact, session broker is designed to load balance connection between servers. So we have to use folder redirect...
