Now and then the Remote Desktop Connection Broker stops responding, and stops serving my VDI computers. Saying that there are no computers available in the pool.
If you look at the service "Remote Desktop Conncetion Broker" it is running but doesn't "answer" requests anymore. On top you are unable to stop the service.
The only solution is to manually force it to stop, by starting an (admin) comand prompt and stop it trough Taskkill tssdis.exe with the id
After that you can restart the "remote Desktop Connection Broker" service again, and all VDI computers are again available for use.
Windows Server 2019
Tested and tried several things but this thing gives me a headage for the past months.
Hello Jo,
Yes, I have seen the same behavior but no errors or clues in the logs. I have no idea why this happens and the only 'fix' is to reboot the server.
Hi Mariette,
Rebooting is not neccesary, What i do is:
logon on to the remoteDesktop server.
Start taskmanager -> go to DETAILS and look for TSSDIS.EXE, take note of the PID
Then start the command prompt as adminitrator and stop the task
Taskkill /pid /f
(the service is now stopped)
Start services.msc (Run -> services.msc)
Look for "Remote Desktop Connection Broker" and start the service
Voila, all connections are available again. (Without the need of rebooting)
Any updates on this issue by any change?
I have no idea
