What is Microsoft RD Connection Broker?

Microsoft RD (Remote Desktop) Connection Broker is a component of the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) suite, designed to manage and balance user connections to remote desktop sessions or remote apps within a virtualized environment. It plays a central role in ensuring that users are directed to the right remote session host based on various criteria, such as load balancing and session reconnection.

Why Monitor Microsoft RD Connection Broker?

RD Connection Broker manages user connections across multiple servers. If users experience disconnections or crashes, the RD Connection Broker plays a role in reconnecting them to their previous session. Monitoring helps ensure that this feature is working as expected and that users can reliably reconnect without issues. For this purpose, eG Enterprise offers a specialized Microsoft RD Connection Broker monitoring model.
