Terminal Server Session Directory is a feature that allows users to easily and automatically reconnect to a disconnected session in a load balanced Terminal Server farm. The session directory keeps a list of sessions indexed by username and server name. This enables a user, after disconnecting a session, to reconnect to the correct Terminal Server where the disconnected session resides in order to resume working in that session.
This reconnection will work even if the user connects from a different client computer. <!-- non-encyclopedic, how-to advice: However, the question pertinently asks, "What should you do next?" The next step is to install and configure Network Load Balancing. NLB is a prerequisite for creating a Session Directory terminal server farm. -->

The widespread use of ''Session Initiation Protocol'' as a signalling protocol has created various challenges. An important one is that its throughput can be severely degraded when an overload happens in the proxy server because of several retransmissions from the user agent. One common approach to overcome this problem is ‘load balancing’. A balancer needs to know the status of proxy servers, which are continuously gathered implicitly or explicitly. Implicit methods have averagely less overhead than explicit ones<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Montazerolghaem|first=Ahmadreza|last2=Shekofteh|first2=S.-Kazem|last3=Yaghmaee|first3=M.h.|last4=Naghibzadeh|first4=Mahmoud|date=2017-02-01|title=A load scheduler for SIP proxy servers: design, implementation and evaluation of a history weighted window approach|url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dac.2980/abstract|journal=International Journal of Communication Systems|language=en|volume=30|issue=3|pages=n/a–n/a|doi=10.1002/dac.2980|issn=1099-1131}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Montazerolghaem|first=A.|last2=Yaghmaee|first2=M.
