Title says it all. I have a multiple server RDS farm. Gateway, license and broker are concentrated on one server. Several session hosts and they all work fine. They host full desktop sessions.
The problem started when we started to move to VDI (pooled managed). At first during testing everything was working in fine. We had started publishing our apps and it was working in our lab. We then tested for scale and deployment and everything was fine. When we started to roll out, at some point during creating of the VDI vm's (we were testing with 5 and then deployed 50), it got interrupted and failed. We recreated all desktops and that finished OK.
Problem is: no one can connect to an app.
If I remove the published apps, everyone can get a VDI desktop, but as soon as I try to publish an app, then nothing. No errors generated... nothing. It looks like it is connecting but then nothing. The Remotepp window just silently closes.
I have:
1. Rebuilt then entire RD Host from bare metal
2. Removed and re-added the gateway and connection broker services on the main server
3. Rebuilt the template from scratch and republished
I get the exact same behavior. Users can get full managed VDI desktops... cannot get RemoteApps.
Unfortunately, I cannot destroy the entire RDS infrastructure and rebuild because it is a business critical part of our infrastructure.
I have combed through the registries looking for orphaned entries, etc. and nothing. I saw a few blog posts related to the local DB for the connection broker and have not tried digging into that. I DO NOT have connection broker running in HA.
