Validate RD Gateway, slot counts, and logon storms — before Monday morning.
LoadGen ships a dedicated 8-step RDS wizard with native RD Gateway support. Full agents (port 4840) drive every multi-session desktop with batch Logon / Logoff / Lock / Unlock / Reboot / Reset operations.

The Problem
RDS isn’t boring — it’s under-tested.
Multi-session is mature, which is exactly why teams stop measuring it. The questions auditors ask about Gateway capacity and slot counts are answered by guessing.
RD Gateway is a single point of failure nobody load-tests.
Without measured Gateway throughput under real concurrency, the first time it bends is on Monday morning when the whole field engineering team logs in.
Multi-session farms run on outdated slot estimates.
Slot counts authored years ago, never re-validated against current Office or line-of-business apps — silent overshoot, silent undershoot.
Logon storms surface in production, not in pre-prod.
A 30-user pilot proves nothing about an 800-user 9 a.m. logon storm. Without measured ramp on the actual farm, the storm hits prod first.
How LoadGen handles RDS
Connect · Author · Execute · Validate.
Four motions, every one RDS-aware — from the Gateway URL down to the per-host slot count.
Connect
The 8-step RDS wizard ships with native RD Gateway support. Auth, gateway URL, and farm membership captured in minutes.
Author
Workload-based scenarios map to multi-session desktops. Display, scenario, and Full-agent strategy authored in the same wizard.
Execute
Full agents (port 4840) drive every session — Logon, Logoff, Lock, Unlock, Reboot, Reset, Install, Uninstall as batch ops on the farm.
Validate
Per-host slot saturation, Gateway throughput, and continuous E2E UX monitoring tracked on the same audit trail as the load test.
Live · 8-step RDS Wizard
Gateway-aware. Multi-session-aware. Slot-aware.
Author once, run on the farm, validate the slot count against measured concurrency. The wizard captures every RDS-specific signal — Gateway, broker, host pool, session.
Outcomes · before / after
Right-size the farm. Survive the logon storm.
Drawn from teams that ran the dedicated RDS wizard against real concurrency before the next refresh cycle.

RDS → Platform
Five features. One RDS practice.
RDS isn’t a feature — it’s the way these five compose into a measured multi-session farm operation.
- /config/load-profiles/new/rds— 8-step RDS wizard
- /config/workloads— Multi-session workload versions
- /testing/active— Live RD Gateway cockpit
- /testing/results— Multi-test slot overlay
- /monitoring/profiles— Continuous RDS UX validation

Test the farm before Monday tests it for you.
Run the 8-step RDS wizard this afternoon. Capture a Gateway throughput baseline this week. Resize the farm on a measurement next quarter.
