You can import into Terminal Services Manager a list of terminal servers that are members of a farm in Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session Broker) by using the Import from TS Session Broker action.

  1. In Terminal Services Manager, in the left pane, click Terminal Services Manager.

  2. On the Action menu, click Import from TS Session Broker.

  3. In the Import from TS Session Broker dialog box, type the NetBIOS name, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or the IP address of the TS Session Broker computer, and then click OK.

    One of the following nodes will appear in the left pane:

    • TS Session Broker (computername), where computername is the NetBIOS name of the computer that you entered in Step 3

    • TS Session Broker (IP address), where IP address is the IP address that you entered in Step 3

Additional considerations

  • You can use the Import from TS Session Broker action to import a list of terminal servers from a Windows Server 2008 computer running TS Session Broker.

  • The Import from TS Session Broker action will automatically add all the terminal server farms that are hosted by the TS Session Broker computer and will automatically add all the terminal servers that are members of those farms.

  • The terminal servers that are imported will automatically be in a disconnected state. To connect to a specific terminal server, right-click the terminal server to which you want to connect, and then click Connect.

  • The list of terminal servers that are members of the farms is not automatically updated. To update the list of terminal servers that are members of the farms, right-click the appropriate TS Session Broker node in the left pane, and then click Refresh.

  • You cannot update the list of terminal servers in a specific farm within a TS Session Broker node; you can only update the entire TS Session Broker node. To update the list of terminal servers for all farms hosted by a TS Session Broker computer, right-click the appropriate TS Session Broker node in the left pane, and then click Refresh.

  • You can use the Import from TS Session Broker action to import a list of terminal servers from more than one TS Session Broker computer.

  • You can only delete an entire TS Session Broker node. You cannot do any of the following:

    • Delete a specific terminal server in a farm listed in a TS Session Broker node

    • Delete a farm that is listed in a TS Session Broker node

    • Empty a farm that is listed in a TS Session Broker node

    • Empty a TS Session Broker node

    To delete a TS Session Broker node, click the appropriate node, and on the Action menu, click Delete.
