    Persistence Mode

    Terminal Service or Source IP Address

    In the Standard Options section, a Persistence Mode can be specified. The RD Connection Broker role itself does not rely on persistence. This is because the RD Connection Broker servers only handle the initial RDP request, it does not contain any active sessions. Therefore, the persistence mode can be left to the default option.
    Persistence Timeout 1 Hour

    Scheduling Method

    least connection

    In most RD Connection Broker environments, configuring least connection is the most suitable option. However, any option can be selected. For example, if a relative weight is configured to an RD Connection Broker server, selecting weighted least connection here would also add the configured weight as a factor in calculating the schedule.
