We’re using C10LEs and currently offer a Connect Manager screen that offers the ability to log into a Server 2008 Terminal Server as well as an empty RDP connection that allows the user to enter the hostname of their own workstation if they choose.
I’m currently testing RDS2012R2 with the High Availability Connection Broker setup. I have a C10LE working with the VDI Connection broker but I would like to also offer the option for a user to connect back to their workstation with an empty RDP connection like we currently do. Is there a way to accomplish this?
My test uses the following for the VDI connection:
VDIBroker=https://hostname.domain
ConnectionBroker=Microsoft
DomainList=”test”
SignOn=YesObviously I do not get a Connect Manager if I keep the “SignOn=Yes” line.
However, if I use the Connect Manager how can I get one RDP connection to use the Connection Broker and a different RDP connection to just accept a single hostname?
Thanks for your time.
February 19, 2016 at 5:09 pm #42476As soon as you are using SignOn=yes you have to log in before you can do anything.
Of course, you can add a simple RDP connection on the clients desktop and as soon as the user has logged in, he can either start the RDP connection or any session assigned by the connection broker.CG

So if I use SignOn=no and utilize connect manager is there a way for me to have the following:
Option #1 (RDP connection with a blank hostname such that users can RDP back to their workstations)
Option #2 (RDP connection that connects to our RDS2012R2 Connection Broker via a single hostname.
Basically is there a way to force an RDP connect option through Connect Manager to use a VDI connection broker?
Thanks for your time.

Option #2 isn’t
No way to initiate a broker authentication from within the Connection Manager.CG
October 23, 2019 at 5:55 am #51066Hello ConfGen,
I am also trying to set-up an RDP connection with a blank hostname to allow users the ability to RDP into other workstations but I am having a bit of trouble with the configuration. Would you be able to provide any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

CONNECT=RDP \
Host=”” \
Description=”Empty” \
Icon=default \
Fullscreen=yes \
LocalCopy=noCG
