Lanuch Remote Access Management Console with a connection to a remote server

Question

I've installed the Remote Access Management Console on my Windows 8 workstation so that I can administer DirectAccess on a Windows Server 2012 server without having to connect to it with Remote Desktop. However, every time I launch the console I have to
click "Manage a remote server" and enter the server name. Is there a way to launch the console with a command-line parameter that opens the remote server automatically?
I've tried running ramgmtui.exe with the name of the server as a parameter, and I've also tried running "ramgmtui.exe /?" but the console doesn't launch at all when called with any of the parameters I've tried.

Hi,
Have you installed Remote Server Administration Tools?
You may use Server Manager to Manage another server. Once you add a server, it will be listed in All Servers. So you will never have to enter the server name.
