Terminal Server Maintenance
Hi there,
We have a pool of W2K3 terminal servers configured to use session directory sitting behind a pair of BIG-IP load balancers with msrdp persistence working. I'm looking for a way of easily removing a node from the terminal server farm to perform regular maintenance patching.
My udnerstanding (which is very little) is that a cookie string in the token sent from the terminal server node is used to identify whether the server is using session directory or not:
cookie: msts= (this server is session directory enabled)
cookie: msth= (this server is not using sesion directory)
If I remove one of these terminal servers from the session directory and the BIGIP's are left untouched, will the load balancers still send client connections to this host?
I do not have direct access to the load balancers and they are bound to strict change control process so I'd like to stay away from any additional configuration work on these if possible.
Any help would be most appreciated.
