Remote Desktop Management Tool

Remote Desktop Management Tool:

The Remote Desktop Management tool organizes and stores multiple RDP configurations from a centralized location:   http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21101.



This tool comes in handy for working with multiple servers.  Note, it's not prudent to save user passwords with this utility!




Further automate administration with Remote Server Admin Tools (RSAT):  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7887.


RSAT includes AD users, Print Management, DNS, etc,.  Note, only run RSAT from a secure server.  Do not run these tools from your workstation.

I also recommend that admins use the “runas /netonly”  command switch.  
This method ensures that programs start from a network logon instead of an interactive logon.  In other words, the administrator credentials are not stored in memory.
