Terminal Server RDP for maintenance

[CharlesL]

Hello - got a weird one....

I have a Win2K8 x64 TS farm, 2 TS's with NLB setup and Session Broker
configured. The problem is, sometimes I need to RDP into one specific TS to
do maintenance - and Session Broker keeps driving my RDP session to the next
available TS, which is usually the one that I don't want to do maintenance
on - how can I work around this?

You can use the "/admin" option to mstsc to avoid getting redirected. (On
older version of the client, you would use "/console".)
