Deploy the Remote Desktop Gateway role

This article will tell you how to use the Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) role to deploy Remote Desktop Gateway servers in your Remote Desktop environment. You can install the server roles on physical machines or virtual machines depending on whether you are creating an on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid environment.

Install the RD Gateway role

  1. Sign into the target server with administrative credentials.

  2. In Server Manager, select Manage, then select Add Roles and Features. The Add Roles and Features installer will open.

  3. In Before You Begin, select Next.

  4. In Select Installation Type, select Role-Based or feature-based installation, then select Next.

Configure the RD Gateway role

Once the RD Gateway role is installed, you'll need to configure it.

To configure the RD Gateway role:

  1. Open the Server Manager, then select Remote Desktop Services.

  2. Go to Servers, right-click the name of your server, then select RD Gateway Manager.

  3. In the RD Gateway Manager, right-click the name of your gateway, then select Properties.

  4. Open the SSL Certificate tab, select the Import a certificate into the RD Gateway bubble, then select Browse and Import Certificate….

  5. Select the name of your PFX file, then select Open.

  6. Enter the password for the PFX file when prompted.

  7. After you've imported the certificate and its private key, the display should show the certificate’s key attributes.

Note

Because the RD Gateway role is supposed to be public, we recommend you use a publicly issued certificate. If you use a privately issued certificate, you'll need to make sure to configure all clients with the certificate's trust chain beforehand.
