When the Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) role service is installed, a default Web site is automatically created. By default, the Web site is located at https://server_name/RDWeb, where server_name is the name of the RD Web Access server.

To populate the Web page with a list of available RemoteApp programs or virtual desktops, you must specify a Remote Desktop Session Host server or Remote Desktop Connection Broker server for RD Web Access to use. Any RemoteApp programs on the specified RD Session Host server or RD Connection Broker server that are configured to show in RD Web Access will appear on the Web page.
