To simplify administration and configuration for multiple RD Gateway servers, you can use Remote Desktop Gateway Manager to import or export policy and configuration settings for an RD Gateway server.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, on the RD Gateway server that you plan to configure, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477.
