| 106. Service Name:-Tssdis |
| Executable Name:-tssdis.exe |
| Log On As:-LocalSystem |
Description:-This service provides a multisession environment that allows client devices to access a virtual Windows desktop session and Windows-based programs running on Windows Server.
The Terminal Services Session Directory allows clusters of load-balanced Terminal Servers to properly route a user's connection request to the server where the user already has a session running. Users will be routed to the first-available Terminal Server, regardless of whether they've got a running session elsewhere in the cluster. Load Balancing pools the processing resources of several servers using the TCP/IP networking protocol. You can use this service with a cluster of terminal servers to scale the performance of a single terminal server by distributing sessions across multiple servers. Session Directory keeps track of disconnected sessions on the cluster, and ensures that users are reconnected to those sessions.
If this service is stopped or disabled, load balancing for terminal services will not work.
