Conguring R
emote Console access
Remote Console provides tenants with the ability to access the console of their VMs in scenarios when other remote tools such as Remote
Desktop are unavailable.
Tenants can use Remote Console to access VMs when the VM is on an isolated network, an untrusted network, or across the Internet. The
Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) component enables you to oer Remote Console to tenants who do not have direct network
connectivity to the Hyper-V hosts.
For more information about Remote Console, including an automated deployment method which makes it easier to install, see the
Microsoft blog post
Automation of Remote Console deployment for CPS Standard.
