How to change the DNS name of the Remote Desktop Services HA connection
Last time we looked at the Robocopy utility and examples of using parameters in various situations. Today I want to analyze a situation in which you need to change the DNS name of a connection to a Remote Desktop Services High Availability farm, since you could have come up with a new name with a more memorable meaning, or you could have changed the naming standards in your company. I am sure that although this is not a frequent task, it will be very useful to be able to do it.
Formulation of the problem
I previously deployed a Remote Desktop Services High Availability farm based on Windows Server 2019 named terminal.root.site.com and want to change that name to teremok.root.pyatilistnik.org. Unfortunately, you cannot do this from the graphical interface in the RDS farm management snap-in, I do not know why Microsoft did not provide for this. As you can see, there is a field, you can even select it, but it does not allow editing, but nothing PowerShell will help us.
Change DNS name of RDS HA via PowerShell
The largest functionality for managing all aspects of Windows Server is by far PowerShell. Let's open a Powershell shell and first, let's see the current settings of the terminal farm through the command:
More about the Get-RDConnectionBrokerHighAvailability cmdlet - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/po...onnectionbrokerhighavailability?view=win10-ps
As you can see from my example, this name is now even terminal2.root.site.com, we will change it.
It is very important that you run the command below on the active RDS broker, it is in the ActiveManagementServer field
To change the RDS connection address of the farm, we will use the Set-RDClient Access Name cmdlet and the command will look like this:
Here's my example:
After running the command, I ask for the settings again and see that now the DNS name "teremok.root.pyatilistnik.org" is used to connect to the Remote Desktop Services High Availability farm.
You can see the same thing in the snap-in on the High Availability settings tab.
I don't know what the problem was to do it through the graphical interface, but oh well.
