Farm design questions


1 windows 2008 x64 standard server (ts01) with:
 ts licensing role
 ts session broker role
 ts web access role
 ts gateway role
2 windows 2008 x64 standard server (ts02, ts03) with:
 ts terminal server role

dns: record of ts.domain.com assigned ts01.

users both internally , externally accessing ts.

the ts session broker / nlb documentation doesn't seem go enough detail understand requirements.  resource kit glosses on topic.  link better step-by-step similar design helpful.

question 1: read either dns or nlb can used load balancing.  since using session broker requirement use dns rr and/or nlb?

question 2: if 1 of options required prefer nlb.  nlb installed?

question 3: can gateway run without certificate while test?  know can issue self-signed cert can done without cert during initial testing?

question 4: issues way roles distributed?

question 5: have cert named ts.domain.com, should farm name same of different?


thanks













hi,

question 1 : read either dns or nlb can used load balancing.  since using session broker requirement use dns rr and/or nlb?

no, windows 2008 session broker smarted either of them. dns rr not load balancer. can stick session broker - he

does job well.

 

question 2 : if 1 of options required prefer nlb.  nlb installed?

please refer nlb setup step step guide:

question 3 : can gateway run without certificate while test?  know can issue self-signed cert can done without cert during initial testing?

no cant. have have cert - self-signed while. needs save secure connection - doesnt work without cert.

 

question 4 : issues way roles distributed?

with amount of servers given - no.

 

question 5 : have cert named ts.domain.com, should farm name same of different?

not matter. main thing dns identify servers in domain (see other post) wildcard cert. domain.com
