After you install the RD Gateway role service and open Remote Desktop Gateway Manager on that server, by default, Remote Desktop Gateway Manager will display the details for that server.

If you plan to manage a remote RD Gateway server, membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, on the RD Gateway server that you plan to manage remotely, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Specifically, you must log on to the local computer with a domain account that is a member of the Administrators group or equivalent, on the RD Gateway server that you plan to manage remotely. Alternatively, you can open Remote Desktop Gateway Manager while logged on under such an account. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477.

  2. In the Remote Desktop Gateway Manager console tree, right-click Remote Desktop Gateway Manager, and then click Connect to RD Gateway Server.
