  [out] BSTR *pLBInfo
);

Error codes

Returns S_OK if successful.

Remarks

The load balancing information is used by load balancing routers to choose the best server for the client when using farms of RD Session Host servers. The RD Session Host server itself does not use this information and will discard it.

The cookie uses the following, case-sensitive, syntax:

Cookie: msts=IpAddressAndPortNumber\r\n

Where IpAddressAndPortNumber is the IP address and port number, in network byte order.

For example, the cookie used to access the IP address of 172.31.249.216, port number 3389 is as follows:

Cookie: msts=3640205228.15629.0000\r\n

The final four zeros are optional and are reserved. The final decimal point is required, as are the trailing carriage return and linefeed. The length of the string, in characters, must be an even multiple of 2, so add a space if necessary.

If no cookie is supplied, the default is Cookie: mstshash=UserName\r\n.
