Windows 10: Load balancing Terminal servers- Resource utilization

We have 2 terminal servers where users used to connect to RDP connection. i.e., Primary - Terminal server1 - windows server 2012 standard Load balance - Terminal server 2 - Windows server 2012 standardWe have a scenario where the printer is not available when load balance happens between 2 servers. For example, the printer is configured with server 1 but server 2 is active due to load balancing and the printer is not available.As per my understanding, local resources like printers, clipboard generally get picked up when the below

Recommendation: Load balancer for ADFS environment?

We want to put in ADFS for our current network to support about 30K authenticated users, currently to start off just for sharepoint application, but potentially will support other application/ users as well.

Looking for recommendation on whether we should go with virtual or hardware based Load Balancer, and
which vendor of LB that people tend to adopt for their ADFS and WAP servers? Imagine we'll need to get the LB that can support Layer 7

Here is how we are currently spec'ed out so far:

• 2 WAP servers (Win2016) sit behind a LB and all on DMZ
• 2 ADFS servers (Win2016) sit behind another LB and all on Internal network
• DC server is on Internal network as well

Can anyone explain how the traffic/federation process goes (step by step) when user access the website from the internet (please include how request is being passed/redirect between webserver, WAP, ADFS, and DC servers)

Thanks!

 

Windows terminal server 2012 R2 + Custom credential provider

Hi,

I have a customer credential provider(CP) which is working fine for Windows client(10) and Windows server (2008, 2012 GUI based only). But when I try to use it for Windows terminal server it's not even loading
the Custom CP, no error also. Still, it shows only the default login UI i.e windows default CP. Also I can see my CP is registered in the following HKEY registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers{........}
and DLL file in System32 directory.

There is no info about Windows terminal server with Custom CP in my MS CP page. I have the following questions to move further,

1. Can we actually implement custom CP for windows terminal servers? is it supported?
2. If yes, what am I missing? Is there special configuration required to load custom CP in terminal servers?

Thanks in Advance.
