I've set up a Remote Desktop Services broker and farm with just two hosts (server1 and server2), and everything works good except for one issue. The users can initially log in to their RDS session, their application that launches when they log in
launches, etc., life is good. I then go and simulate a server failure by powering off server1. The clients connected to server1 go through their timeout stage, and then go about re-connecting and will find the second server in the farm (server2)
but instead of just automatically logging in like they do with the initial connection, they get to the Windows login screen and have to wait for input. Since this is not a clustered fail-over type of setup (I only have Windows Server 2008 R2 standard
at my disposal), I understand they're going to get new session and not continue with their same session, and I'm perfectly fine with that. What I'd like to do do is make it so it just logs in like it did when they double-click the rdp connection with
saved credentials, and not have them have to enter anything when it connects to the server that's still up. Is that even possible with the Microsoft RDP client? Or am I just stuck with the behavior that I'm experiencing in my testing? Thanks
for any information.
