Hi lennart,

You can't load balance a desktop unless it's assigned as a published
application. If you haven't assigned a load evaluator to an application, it
will default to using the evaluator assigned to the server.

Subject: [THIN] XP Load Balancing server vs. application


Hello!

What's the difference between assigning load balancing evaluators to 
*servers* and assigning them to *applications*?

We publish full desktops (and some applications) hosted on a 4 server XPa 
farm. Each *server* has the "Advanced" evaluator assigned, and load 
balancing seems to work independently of which evaluator I assign to the 
*application* (even "none" will work).

In CMC I have to assign an evaluator to each server (ther's no "none" 
setting here), but I don't have to assign an evaluator to applications. 
Does anyone know how load balancing with XPa really works? (qfarm /app 
<appname> shows two columns "application load" and "server load". Which 
figures decide which server will be used for an application?)


Our environment:

Windows 2000 SP3
Metaframe XPa SP3
