Hi. We have a new WS2016 RDS deployment (VMs on Hyper-V):
- 2x WS2016 RDGW in NLB
- 2x RDCB in HA configuration
- couple RDSH servers
The problem is that in 30-50% of the connection attempts via these gateways, the connection is stuck at the "Configuring remote session" message. The connection is never successfully estabilished when this happens and it is closed without any error couple minutes later. When you try again (or just immediatelly cancel the connection and reconnect), the connection may or may not go through.
When this problem happens, I can see there's single HTTP connection on the RDGW that accepted the connection with 0 bytes transferred in either direction. There are no related errors at this time.
Can anyone help? Btw. this problem also happens when connecting to a different single-host RDS deployment through these gateways.
I suspected the problem might be in the NLB, but removing either of the gateways from the NLB configuration (and from RDS farm) doesn't help, the issue is still there.
Rebooting the gateways helps for a short while (hours), but then the issue is back.
There are some other errors on the gateways, but these don't correlate to the connection attempts (event 210, source terminalservices-gateway: "Http transport: IN channel could not find a corresponding OUT channel" with no other details).
RDP clients are various ... W8.1, W10, Mac...
