After following the implementation steps in the previous section, follow the steps below to test the load-balanced RD Web Access environment:

  1. Open a web browser that is able to reach the load-balanced IP.
  2. Browse to the configured DNS name for the load-balanced service, for example, http://rdp-rdweb.rdpdoc.net/rdweb. A web page should be presented with the RD Web Access login page. This indicates that the LoadMaster has redirected the session to a Real Server.
  3. In the main menu of the LoadMaster WUI, select Statistics > Real Time Statistics.

  4. Click the Real Servers button.
    Note: This overview shows the active sessions, sessions over the last hour, in addition to how many requests each Real Server handled.

  5. Open another web browser on a different client and perform steps 1 and 2 above.

  6. Refresh the LoadMaster statistics page. Notice that, based on the load balancing method we chose, load is spread over both RD Web Access servers.
