2 Worker Roles in one Azure Package

Question

I have two worker roles in one Azure package. I am getting this error:

The port '3389' is used by both endpoint Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteForwarder.RdpInput in role WorkerRole1 and endpoint Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteForwarder.RdpInput in role WorkerRole2.

But I dont find any reference to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteForwarder.RdpInput in cloud service configuration(cscfg) file

Answer 1

Verify that only one of the WorkerRoles has "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteForwarder.Enabled" setting in the service configuration. If both of them have this setting I believe the plug in will attempt set up the endpoint for both of them. You only need one of the roles to serve as a remote forwarder. From there it tunnels the remote access to any of the other roles that have the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteAccess.Enabled set to true.

If this is the case it should be giving you an error if you attempt to package or publish.
