Hi -
Have a public facing 2012r2 server running RDGW and RDweb roles. There is no RDS deployment, we only use this for RDP pass-through to internal servers.
After login in via RDweb and going to 'Connect to a remote PC' this connection may take anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to secure and establish the connection to the remote server.
Once it gets through, if I disconnect and try again, it will connect almost instantaneously. This occurs consistently. If the client hasn't connected in a while, it will take a long time initially, every time.
Each time the connection process is slow there is an eventid 11 is generated in the RDGW server:
event 11 Source: RDWebaccess
RD Web Access was unable to contact "computer.domain", which is the server that is specified as running the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Management service. Ensure that the name of the server that is specified as running the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Management service is entered correctly, and that the server is running and available on the network. Error code: 2147944122.
This message does not appear on subsequent connections.
As mentioned I do not have any remoteapp or SH servers setup in this deployment.
thanks
