Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy is proud to release a Terminal Server Load
Balancing suite for Microsoft Terminal Services, absolutely FREE.
Download it from: http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_Utils.htm
The first release is a Terminal Server Client extension that allows load
balancing of Terminal Servers in a single Domain. The process balances
sessions across a farm of terminal servers within a domain, applying a user
load criteria to distribute the sessions evenly. This program also
reconnects a client to a disconnected session based on computer name only.
Release 1.0 includes the following features:
- Basic Load balancing among Terminal Services in a single domain
- Administrative server selection to create Server farm
- User load balancing Criteria to distribute sessions evenly
- Reconnect a Disconnected session in the TS Server farm (reconnects based
on Computer name only).
This addon requires the Microsoft Terminal Server Client to be installed on
the operating machine. The Microsoft Terminal Server Client (MSTSC.EXE )
must be located in %systemroot%\system32 of the client machine.
This addon is currently only designed for clients running Windows 2000
Professional, Windows XP (All Versions) and Windows Vista. A Windows 98
version is also in development, a linux edition may also be release,
depending on user interest.
The next edition of TSLoadBal - Client Edition will include:
- Client option control such as screen size, colors etc..
- Application specification - Launch applications from a load balanced
server farm
-More to come ..
TSLoadBal - Server Edition will be available soon, that will provide a
central database for load balancing. The current client version calculates
load balancing from the client end.
How TSLoadBal -Client Edition works:
1. The TsLoadBal Client works on a simple principle.
2. The client is launched.
3. The client Enumerates the list of Terminal Servers in the Current Domain.
4. The client checks the Terminal Server farm list as compiled by the user
or administrator. All settings are stored in CURRENT_USER registry key
5. The client checks to see if the server farm has a disconnected session
that matches the computer name of the current machine running the program.
If a session exists, the Microsoft Terminal Server Client native to the OS
is launched with the server information predefined.
6. The client checks to see which server has the least load based on user
sessions.
7. The client launches the Microsoft Terminal Server Client native to the OS
with the server information predefined
