    Hi There,

    This may be something very simple however its the first time we have set this up from scratch so i do apologise should this be easy!

    • Server 2012 Connection Broker and Web Access Roles
    • Server 2012 R2 Session Hosts

    Attempting to add a session host server to a session collection that i have created however when this attempted we recieve the following error - "The property SessionDirectoryLocation is configured vy usinf Group Policy settings. Use the Group Policy Management Console to configure this property."

    Ive taken a look at the GPO which we configured to use a connection broker and it appears to be configured correctly

    "Configure RD Connection Broker Farm Name" and "Configure RD Connection Broker Server name" are what i think is causing this problem.

    The farm name is set as remote.domain.local which matches my DNS entry for the farm as advised and the server name is server.domain.local for the server with the connection broker role installed is this correct?.

    All other GPO under the RD Connection Broker is configured to be enabled.

    My DR session collection that doesnt use a connection broker works fine and can be added as expected.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi,

    Your Connection Broker should be running Server 2012 R2 if your session hosts are running 2012 R2.

    Please set all the group policy settings under RD Connection Broker for your RD Session Host servers to Not Configured.  These settings will be configured by the broker when you make the RDSH servers part of a session collection.

    Sorry for the lack of update as ive been away on a conference.

    Ive successfully done the inplace upgrade on the connection broker server however in relation to TP's response,

    Does my connection broker and session hosts need to have seperate GPO's and if so, will the connection broker GPO need to be configured or does it not matter?

    Hi TP,

    Thanks very much for this, i thought it might have been an issue with that and im currently in the process of doing an inplace upgrade to resolve this problem.

    I will test this out and will let you know the outcome.

    Hi,

    Glad to hear that you got it working with TP's comment.

    As per my research, I don’t think it must be on separate GPO, it can be configured on connection broker.

    Thanks for your understanding and support!

    Regards.
