RDS Virtualization Host VDI
- I have a connection broker, session host, web access and the virtualization host setup on R2. I have two Windows 7 VM clients on the VH host. When I login into the web access and access the desktop, I get the following error: remote desktop cannot verify the server belongs to the server farm - there is no farm it is trying to connect to one of the Windows 7 clients. I have the connection broker setup to be virtualization redirection not a farm. I follwed the RDS guides and I believe I have everything setup correctly. Any suggestions?

Thanks for posting in our forum.
Based on my experience, the issue is generally caused by incorrect configurations of the virtual desktop pools. To narrow down the problem’s scope, please collect the following information to us:

- How do you see the configuration of a pool? There is no option to see it via the GUI. Is there a powershell command?
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback, JMP13.
In TechNet Script Center, there are series of scripts querying different scopes of the RDS-V configurations information:
Verify RDV Host configuration
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/en-us/d838f634-b448-4cee-882f-4ecaea33db6a
Verify virtual machine configuration for RDV

Verify Redirection configuration
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/en-us/2d89d330-5249-4115-a3bd-c42c0e13ef36
Please also send these information to the workspace and we’ll check the reason why the RDS Connection Broker judge the environment as a farm rather than VDI environment.
Hope it helps and thanks for your cooperation again.

- Where in the Connection Broker is a farm setup? Is that the RemoteApp Source section?
- I also see event id 1306 and 1296 in the session-broker-client log on the session host serve.r
Hello JMP13,
It’s nice to hear from you again.
Regarding your question on how to setup Connection Broker farm, please refer to the following article:
Checklist: Create a Load-Balanced RD Session Host Server Farm by Using RD Connection Broker
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753891.aspx
It shows 4 phases to create a Load-Balanced RD Session Host Server Farm.
If the issue is still unresolved, please send the MPS records and the event logs to the workspace I created. I will help you troubleshoot the issue based on the information.
Thanks for your cooperation again.

- The problem that I am having is when I launch a desktop it is trying to connect the desktop as the farm name which I would think it should connect to the session host. I only have one session host so there is no farm at all. On the Virtualization Host server, the log TSV-VMHostAgent, I see eventid 4874, failed to update farm name and it has the name of the desktop not the session host. How do I changed that to the session host?
Hello JMP13,
Thanks for your feedback.

· The exact event log message of the EventID 4874;

I was following this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772706(WS.10).aspx.
I have no error messages in the other log files.Hello JMP,
Thanks for your feedback and sorry for replying late.
In your case, I notice that you have installed all the server roles into the same server. That may cause the virtual desktop pool fail to work, according to the following thread:
To use the virtual desktop pool features, I recommend you to install virtualization host role and other roles on separate servers. Otherwise, you can use the personal virtual desktop instead as a workaround. For more information, please refer to the Step-by-step Guide on Deploying Virtual Desktop.
Please let us know the result. Thanks.

- I have seperate servers for each of the roles. I even started over and getting the same messages.
Hello JMP,
Thanks for your feedback.
Based on a series of tests, I recommend you to check the session host role of your environment. As the session host is treated as a farm member, I suspect the issue is related to incorrect setting of the server mode. In such a case, please check it via the following steps:
1. On the server with Session Host role, click Start, Administrative Tools, Remote Desktop Services and select the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration.
2. In the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration, under the Edit Settings area, double-click Member of farm in RD Connection Broker.
3. Click Change Settings under RD Connection Broker tab.
4. Confirm that Virtual machine redirection is selected and the correct name is listed at RD Connection Broker server name. If not, please correct them.
5. Check the issue again.
Thanks for your cooperation and patience again.
