If the RD Connection Broker server is not a domain controller, open the Computer Management tool (''Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management'') and select ''Local Users and Groups'' from the System Tools category in the tree in the left hand panel and then selected Groups. From the list of objects right click on ''Session Broker Computers'' and choose Properties from the popup menu to display the following properties dialog. This dialog will display any computers that are currently allowed to join the RD Connection Broker service:

== Joining RD Session Hosts to an RD Connection Broker ==

Now that the RD Connection Broker is configured and the RD Session Host servers have been added to the Session Broker Computers group the next step is to configure the RD Session Hosts themselves to join the remote desktop server farm. This is achieved on each RD Session Host system using the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool which may be started from ''Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration''. When the tool has loaded, double click on the ''Member of farm in RD Connection Broker'' item listed under RD Connection Broker in the Edit settings box:

Finally, select the IP addresses to be used for reconnection. Note that Remote Desktop client version 5.2 and older only support IPv4 addresses.
