RDS Issue (2016 Server) There are no available computers in the pool

Question

I can't seem to find a resolution here or elsewhere on the web. Whenever using MSTSC (without /admin), I will get error messages in the TerminalServices-SessionBroker-Client that are: 1301, then 1296, then 1306. Seems to be some sort of redirection error.

• [EventID: 1301] Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client received request for redirection. User: {domain\me}. RDP Client Version: 5
• [EventID: 1296] Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed when getting redirection packet from Connection Broker. User: {domain\me}. Error: Element Not Found
• [EventID: 1306] Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user {domain\me}. Error: NULL

I have tested licensing - they are set per user with 11 available (per the Licensing Diagnoser)

I used Roles and Services to set up the configuration again after removing the Host Server and Collection. Then set it up again with a new collection and a new host server (and set up licensing at per user). Even after this - I am still getting the errors mentioned above :(

I am pretty much stuck here until I figure it out, but I'm totally lost at this point :( I keep googling, but not finding anything worthwhile yet.

EDIT also - I have looked in the SQL Server database for configuration and I don't really see a lot wrong in the RDCms database, but admittedly I'm not 100% sure what to look for.

Also - I noticed that under Best Practices Analyzer I see: Error > The IIS service must be running on the RD Web Access Server (which is this one, even though it isn't used) and IIS won't start.

Answer 2

I got RDWeb Access going, had to re-install IIS and set it up again. Not a huge deal. I cannot publish apps to it, though. They show published, but do not show up.

Still the same issue when trying to RDP :( MSTSC.exe /admin works, of course, but that isn't going through the broker as far as I am aware.
