| On a daily basis I need to terminal service (RDP) into dozens of different
Microsoft servers. Finding the server I need to connect to, remembering
the credentials and flipping between sessions is a nightmare with the default
Microsoft tools. To help me manage the server connections, I wrote a .Net wrapper for
Microsoft's terminal services client. The wrapper allows me to create connection
groupings and opens the connections in a tabbed MDI. The wrapper can be
downloaded below. |

Microsoft gives you a couple of ways to connect to a remote desktop:
| |
The remote desktop client is quick and
easy to use but will leave
you with a taskbar full of icons. In the options view
you have full access to the settings. The Administration Tools Pack
contains a useful tool that will consolidate your connections into a single list but
there is no visual indication for what server are connected and connections can't be grouped. |
