Managing multiple Terminal Servers

Whether you are terminal services expert or just casual administrator that needs to touch remote servers using TS, you should have a look at visionapp Remote Desktop.

I really like new RDP 6.0, however I am missing centralized management of identities and credentials. If you need to support just few servers, its not really problem, however if you need to support tens or hundreds, lack of these management capabilities can be really horror.

VRD (visionapp Remote Desktop) allows you to centralize this TS management. If you are like me (little bit paranoid), you have at least two accounts on your personal notebook (normal user & admin, or even better (my case) normal user, operator and admin), you would like to have option to connect to TS without specifying user credentials over and over again.

You can find VRD here.

Configuration is per-user and you can find it in registry under location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\visionapp\vRD, value Configuration.

This configuration is in XML format, so you can easily modify it (or create scripts for auto generation).
