Guest rmth Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 The recommendation for NLB port rules for TS is to delete the default and set the port range from 3389 to 3389 and specify TCP as the protocol. It states that this will only load balance connections made by RDP. Does the NLB port setting rules effect other port and protocol connections, such as external automated backup solutions? -- rmth
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: TS NLB Port Rules If you configure NLB with a port rule of 3389 - 3389, it will only load balance traffic on port 3389, which is reserved for Terminal Services. So it should not interfere with your backup solution or any other traffic. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?cm10aA==?= <rmth@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 02 jul 2008 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > The recommendation for NLB port rules for TS is to delete the > default and set the port range from 3389 to 3389 and specify TCP > as the protocol.
