You have to work with mgmt_cli exactly the same way as if you were coding against the API.
This means:
If you're on the management server itself, you can use -r true to bypass doing all of the above, but the above happens "under the covers."
When running from a Windows machine, you're obviously not on the management server, so you have to do the entire flow.
For your specific example, this means something like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\SmartConsole\R80.30\PROGRAM> mgmt_cli -m 3.80.173.165 -u aa -p aaaa login > \temp\sid.txt
This logs in with the username aa, password aaaa, and writes the session information to \temp\sid.txt so it can be used later.
Then you can issue the command to show gateways-and-servers:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\SmartConsole\R80.30\PROGRAM> mgmt_cli -m 3.80.173.65 -s \temp\sid.txt show gateways-and-servers

show-gateways-and-servers API command should help.
How do I run this from the SmartConsole server?
I am presented with a Username prompt when I attempt to run the following command on the management server.
[Expert@cpman:0]# mgmt_cli show gateways-and-servers
Username:
Why am I receiving this prompt, and what credentials should I use?
I tried entering the admin credentials but received the following error.
[Expert@cpman:0]# mgmt_cli show gateways-and-servers
Username: admin
Password:
