I have deployed 2008 R2 session based RDS in the following configuration:
Server1: Connection Broker / Licence / RDWeb
Server2: Session Host 1
Server3: Session Host 2
I have published a set of applications to both Server1 and Server2 session hosts and configured as part of connection broker farm called ‘RDS’ and have DNS records of rds.domain.local for both session hosts.
Everything works fine (load balancing, reconnect to disconnected sessions etc.) when users access full desktop.
I now want to use RDWeb and have installed the role to the connection broker server and configured RDWeb to use the fqdn of the connection broker as the ‘source’ on the RDWeb configuration page and get no error when applying the setting.
When logging into RDWeb as either a standard domain user or a Domain admin the RemoteApp Programs page is blank. (All apps on both session hosts are assigned to ‘All Authenticated domain users’ and RDWeb is set ‘Yes’)
I have verified that RDWeb Server (Sever1) is a member of the ‘TS Web Access Computers’ group on the two Session Hosts (Server2 and Server3).
I’ve also tried using the Netbios name for the connection broker and localhost (as connection broker and RDweb are the same server) but the RemoteApp Programs is still blank. Additionally I have also published the RemoteApps to .rdp files and these work without issue so looks like the RemoteApp / Session Host configuration is good)
Checked the event logs on all three servers and there are zero errors, which seems to rule out a security issue.
I have enabled tracing in the RDWeb.config - the output for which is below, I'd be grateful if someone could look over the trace results and any assistance would be welcome....
