I have the following servers in my RDS environment all Server 2012 with the following roles,
- RDS-Services01 (RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, RD Gateway)
- RDS-Session01 (RD Session Host)
Our internal domain is DOMAIN.local and our external domain is a DOMAIN.co.uk because of this we want to use our already paid for SSL certificate for this new service. I have set the RD Gateway to use our external name DOMAIN.co.uk which works fine.
The problem is when connecting to our session server remotely we SSL error due to the Connection broker being RDS-Services01.DOMAIN.local. To get around this before I have created a High Availability RD Connection broker.
So have installed SQL 2012 Express on our RDS-Services01 server and also granted the server permission to create a database. DBcreator. When I run the HA wizard I get the following error,
The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not install the database named RDS by using the connection string:
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;SERVER= RDS-SERVICES01\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;DATABASE=master.
The database name in the connection string is shown as [master] because in order to create a new database with admin specified name, a connection must be made to master database.
Error: Database is offline.
And also this error,
Database Creation - Failed: Could not create the database 'RDS'.
