Remote Desktop Connection and MMC
Remote Desktop Connection and MMC
Submitted by strange@webguru.cc (Brent Strange) on Mon, 02/01/2006 - 05:42.Did you know that you can run you Remote Desktop sessions from the MMC? Yep, it's possible and it's pretty cool! The left pane contains the machine names while the right pane contains the Remote Desktop instance. This is pretty handy when you've got multiple RDCs going (while testing I often have 2 to 3 open at a time) or if you simply just want to store all you RDC profiles in a Windows Explorer type fashion. The snap-in is part of the Admin Pack that comes with Server 2003. It will work with Server 2003 or XP Pro. You can find it on the 2003 CD in the i386 directory or download it from Microsoft here (adminpak.msi). Once you've run adminpak.msi, open MMC (Start > Run > Type "MMC") and add the snap-in "Remote Desktop". Once the snap-in is added, right click "Remote Desktops" in the left pane and select "Add New Connection". The remainder of the RDC setup is self explanatory....
Thanks for the tip Mark!
