Comment by ProfessionalMan on Remote Desktops- December 27, 2007 I would have to recommend DameWare NT Utilities. Their 'Mini Remote Control' is one of the easiest to install, configure and deploy. You can manage all of your machines, workgroup or domain, in a convenient explorer-like tree window, plus drive information, processes, services, view-only administration, remote control, simple file transfer, etc. etc.Check it out.DameWare NT Utilities. !!http://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rss.asp?url=http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/aretzler/remote-... Comment by Payton Byrd on Remote Desktops- December 27, 2007 I get a chuckle every time I see someone recommend VNC as it's one of the most user un-friendly applications around. The performance is horrible on a gigabit network, never mind over normal wlan speeds. Also, the JPG artifacting on text is beyond horrible.What I do to organize remote desktop connections is to simply save them all to a folder structure which allows you to use Windows Explorer to manage them. Simply double-click a settings document and remote desktop opens right up withhttp://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rss.asp?url=http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/aretzler/remote-... Comment by Tired CSO on Remote Desktops- December 23, 2007 Unless your remote desktop use absolutely must use RDP, or has poor physical security, VNC over ssh or OpenVPN might be your answer, with a multi-desktop windowserver. On unixlinux machines, the venerable low-weight FVWM windowserver handles fifty to a hundred desktops easily. Standard iMacLeopard includes 4 desktops out of the box. The remote screen displays, when everything is properly configured, stay updated to buffers, and screen switching is on the local machine, based upon nhttp://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rss.asp?url=http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/aretzler/remote-... Comment by Randy on Remote Desktops- December 21, 2007 http:www.visionapp.com141.0.htmlI use this one personally, and it does everything you're asking for - organize in folders, sort alphabetically or manually, plus open Remote Desktop sessions in tabs. !!

Comment by bytehead on Remote Desktops- December 20, 2007 Yeah, I looked at one of the free options out there, and I've only gotten it to work for telnetssh. RDP just doesn't seem to work for me (it might have to do with me running it under 2000, but IDK.) Source is available, but that sounds like a big time sink to me to try and debug myself. !!Click here to go to this entry !!http://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rss.asp?url=http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/aretzler/remote-... Comment by ahargreave on Remote Desktops- December 20, 2007 I recently started using iShadow Desktop. It's a "pay for" solution but powerful and keeps all your rdp sessions in tabbed windows instead of separate ones.There are a couple free ones out there as well..but I'm a consultant and manage many servers for many clients and iShadow allows me to set a password on my "connections" document which puts a "little" bit of security on it...but nothing military grade. !!a href="http:blogs.ittoolbox.comwindowsaretzlerarchivesremothttp://networking.ittoolbox.com/r/rss.asp?url=http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/aretzler/remote-...
