    when I look at the statistics we do not see any hits for that virtual server the system is configured with three virtual servers One of the connection broker - separate ip - listening on 3389 One for the gateway - separate ip - listening on 443 - Protocol is TCP One for the Remote FX - Same ip as the gateway - listening on 3391 - protocol is 3391 We only see hits on the first two virtual servers

    Is your client RemoteFX-compatible? It needs to be RDP 8.0 or higher: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/04/09/get-the-best-rdp-8-0-experience-when-connecting-to-windows-7-what-you-need-to-know.aspx
