IIS8 and RDS 2012

iisiis-8remote-desktop-serviceswindows-server-2012

I know nothing about IIS, but this should be pretty straightforward.

We have setup and deployed Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server 2012. That is working great, internally. I am trying to set it up so we can access this externally.

  1. I've got the firewall allowing incoming connections to that IP with https

  2. I've got a static map that maps the public static IP with the internal private IP of that server

  3. I've got an a record on network solutions that shows the public IP correctly when pinged

  4. When I put that name into a browser (externally), I am presented with the default IIS 8 splash page, and it does show SSL as working.

So with all that said, I think something simple needs to be redirected or changed in IIS so that we can pull up the RDWeb Gateway page, that will have a link/download to an RDP file so they can then use remote desktop.

Can one of you please show me and tell me where to go in IIS?

To access Remote Desktop Web, use the following URL:

http://rdp.example.org/RDWeb/

Where rdp.example.org is your Remote Desktop Server web gateway.
