Sweet! Remote Desktop Tools
A while back I found a really cool tool on CodePlex called Terminals. It allows you to store all you RDP, VNC, VMRC, RAS, Telnet, SSH, ICA Citrix, Amazon S3, etc in the same interface. It has a really useful tabbing feature that tabs out all the active connections you have for quick switching. If you work in the RDC world its a must check out.

Today a fellow colleague sent me an email telling me about this cool little MMC Snap-In. This will allow you to list all of the computers and Servers and connect to them via RDP Sessions quickly. This snap-in is included in the Adminpak.msi.

After installing the admin pack, click Start –> Run –> tsmmc.msc.
This will open the MMC. Add you connections. Then File –> Save As to save the connections.
I work with around 6 servers and on a daily basis and this makes it really easy to login and logout quickly. Anyone else have any cool RDP tools?
