About this hotfix

This hotfix contains the following improvements:
  • Improves the number of successful user connections when many user connections are coming in (especially in peak logon periods).
  • Decreases CPU usage on SQL Server that's used in a High Availability-based Connection Broker deployment.
  • Optimizes the number of SQL calls that are invoked by Connection Broker when it processes RD user connections.
This hotfix improves the overall performance of the Connection Broker by being able to scale more user connections that typically occur during peak logon periods.

This hotfix applies to both RD Session Host and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)-based deployments.
