As a workaround could you use a different power BI account login for the secondary gateway, but In general you should only need one gateway. if you have data loaded into a excel workbook it cannot be refreshed without loading it to one-drive. the excel workbook can only be refreshed if it is connected to a supported online or on-prem data source. if you have data sources that cross over multiple domains/servers/networks I would suggest creating a vpn on one server/pc that allows these servers to talk to each other.

      Hi billzhang1123,

       

      Was wondering if you ever found what was causing the failure on your server?

      Haven't tried myself, but is the personal gateway currently working from multiple locations with the same corporate account?
