Computers keep leaving and re-joining session directory

Guys,

Just looking for some understanding here. I have (I believe) setup session
directory correctly to be hosted on a cluster and everything seems to be
working in terms of sessions reconnecting...

SO.. not much of an issue. However something I have noticed in the event
logs of the active node of the cluster hosting the session directory is that
the TS Servers that have been configured for Session Directory throughout the
whole day keep leaving and rejoining the Session Directory within a second or
so.. is this normal and could this cause problems in terms of users logging
in at that second the server leaves and then comes back in a second later?

it's weird as I would have thought once joined they'd remain joined but this
has gone on this since day 1 and happens throughout the whole day....

Could you post EventID, Source and Description of the events that
you see in the EventLog?

Re: Computers keep leaving and re-joining session directory

Hi Vera,

Yes.. sorry about the slack question... here are further details :

First I get this message

Event Type: Error
Event Source: TermService
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1020
Date: 21/06/2008
Time: 05:19:00
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Description:
TermService clustering failed to update the session directory,
hresult=0x80004005.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Then immediately on the same timestamp I get :

Event Type: Information
Event Source: TermServJet
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1005
Date: 21/06/2008
Time: 05:19:00
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Description:
The server sucessfully joined the Session Directory xxxxxxxxxxxx.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

And this goes on many times throughout the day

I have google'd about on this and I can confirm that these Servers are
Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition Servers and are part of a Windows 2003
Active Directory Domain

Another thing that may assist is that the Terminal Services Servers are
behind a firewall from the Cluster Hosting the session directory. The
firewall allows any connection iniatated from the Terminal Services Servers
through(and back) to anywhere in the estate, but nothing can initiate a
connection to the Terminal Services Servers aside from client subnets that
are only allowed through on RDP (TCP 3389). Should there be 2 way
communication between the Terminal Services Servers and the Cluster Hosting
the Session Directory?

Re: Computers keep leaving and re-joining session directory

And Also... everytime the the Terminal Services Server logs the events in my
previous post the following events relating to the same server are logged on
the active node of the Cluster hosting the Session Directory Server:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: TermServSessDir
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1018
Date: 21/06/2008
Time: 05:19:00
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Description:
Terminal Server xxxxxxxxxxxx.domain..com(x.x.x.x) successfully left the
Session Directory.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

and then:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: TermServSessDir
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1017
Date: 21/06/2008
Time: 05:19:01
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Description:
Terminal Server xxxxxxxxxxxx.domain.com(x.x.x.x) successfully joined the
Session Directory.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

At again the same timestamps... throughout the whole day...

Re: Computers keep leaving and re-joining session directory

I'm not sure, but I think that you have to allow traffic in both
directions between the session directory cluster and the Terminal
servers.

Yes, I tried that as well, but you have to be a subscriber to see the
