Ok, thanks for the answer. Bah - horrible - I have to wait for DNS cache to expire.

I have an issue where when I remove an RDS Host server as a Farm member the broker still directs connections to it. <br />
<br />
Goal: Remove RDS Host from farm so no new connections can be made, for maintenance. After maintenance I will join it back to the farm.<br />
<br />
BROKER: Windows 2008R2 RD Connection Broker<br />
RD1: Windows 2008R2 RDS Host Server<br />
RD2: Windows 2008R2 RDS Host Server<br />
<br />
Here is how I am removing it and what I have tried. <br />
1. On RD1 I have configured for &quot;No farm membership or redirection&quot;<br />
2. On BROKER I have removed RD1 from the &quot;Session Broker Computers&quot; local group.<br />
<br />
Still my connections are redirected to RD1. Oddly I also see a user with a session on both servers - even though I have enabled one session per user. <br />
<br />
I use round robin dns. I shouldn't have to remove RD1 from DNS right?
