Microsoft Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) is used to publish Full Desktops as well as Remote Apps and make them available from a website and a web feed.
RD Web Access is a website running on Internet Information Server (IIS). RD Web Access preferably runs on port 443 to leverage SSL security and is, by default, accessed by browsing to https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName(FQDN)>/rdweb.
After your RD Web Access server has been installed, you can use the Remote Desktop Management Services (RDMS) console as part of the Server Manager to retrieve the URLs of the RD Web Access servers that are part of the deployment. These servers must be added to the LoadMaster to start load balancing Web Access.
