Configuring User Interface Settings

The following sections describe each of the settings displayed on the Network Load Balancing Properties dialog box and the Provider classes or methods used to access the same settings:

• Configuring Cluster Parameters
• Configuring Host Parameters
• Configuring Port Rules

Note

If the Network Load Balancing provider and the Network Load Balancing user interface are used concurrently in the same cluster to make configuration changes, the results are unpredictable. For example, if the remote password is modified through the user interface, the provider may return a WLBS_BAD_PASSW error when attempting to get or enumerate instances of MicrosoftNLB_Node. Using the LoadAllSettings method of the MicrosoftNLB_ClusterSetting class or the LoadAllSettings method of the MicrosoftNLB_NodeSetting class will update the provider and remove the error. For the best results, avoid concurrent use of the provider and the user interface.
