Nice
Stalemate 10th Aug 2010
I have been using a simpler method of creating a MMC with the "tools of the trade" such as Users and Computers, DNS, etc. and adding in RDP connectors to the main servers.

I will definitely have to try this method.
With the RDP client I can set the Experience individually for each connection, RDCman only allows a global experience setting, so cannot set different settings for computers on the LAN vs the WAN.

Also, with the RDP client, you can select which drives to map, but RDPman is all or nothing, either map all local drives or none.
Shame, very nice tool.
This is a great tool with fantastic features, however it fails to take control of a Windows 2000 server console. It creates a new session insted.

Yes, I know that Windows 2000 is old and we should move on, but we still have a couple of instances that still need supporting with old legacy apps running on them.
There are also other managers that will let you add VNC connections and other types. Some of them are portable applications which are great on usb flash drive. Which makes them a better choice than RDPMan. mRemote is one of them http://www.google.com/search?q=mRemote
Not bad. Personally I use mRemote which can not only handle RDP but also VNC, SSH, Telnet, HTTP/S, etc. It's made my life a lot easier as I use it to manage all of my remote connections to servers and network gear. Unfortunately it's not being actively supported any longer but I just found a fork called mRemoteNG which sounds promising.

I'm in charge of RDS farm and i would like to know where i can insert the /admin after the computername.
Without this parameter i can't connect directly to my server.

But this tools looks good

Thank for sharing

Hi!

If you are serious about remote access, try the RHUB (http://www.rhubcom.com) appliance which has good remote desktop control & server manager capabilities.
