Abstract
Embodiments described herein are directed to establishing a terminal services (TS) session between a TS server and the client without creating a temporary session. In one embodiment, a computer system receives a user request indicating that a TS session with a first TS server is to be initiated. The request includes an indication that the user is authenticated and authorized to use the first TS server. The computer system searches for any prior TS sessions previously initiated by the user with other TS servers and determines, based on the search, that at least one prior TS session was initiated with a second TS server. The computer system also sends redirection data to the user indicating that the user request is to be redirected to the second TS server to reestablish the prior TS session with the second TS server.
