Hello,
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue with the RDS connection broker server where the collection has disappeared:
- Ensure that the collection configuration is still intact. You can use PowerShell Get-RDSessionCollection (RemoteDesktop) | Microsoft Learn to check this. Verify that the collection you are missing is listed. If it's not listed, it might have been deleted or corrupted.
- Service Verification: Confirm that all RDS services are running properly on the server, including the RD Connection Broker service.
- Event Logs: Check the server's event logs for any errors or warnings related to RDS or the RD Connection Broker service.Remote Desktop Services Events (by Role Service) in Windows Server 2008 R2 | Microsoft Learn
- Server Manager: Verify that all servers involved in the RDS deployment are added to the list of servers in Server Manager, as missing servers can cause visibility issues in the RDS Manager.
- Server Pools: Look into the server pool configuration to ensure that all hosts are correctly added to the pool and that there are no discrepancies causing the issue.
- Check DNS and Network Configuration: Ensure that all RDS servers can communicate with each other properly. Check DNS settings, firewall rules, and network configurations to ensure there are no connectivity issues.
- Validate connectivity between the RDS Connection Broker and the database server. Use a tool like
ping
orTest-NetConnection
in PowerShell to ensure basic network connectivity to the database server. Confirm that the required SQL Server port (default is 1433 for SQL Server) is open on the firewall.
