I use both mac and windows at work, and I do a lot of remote desktop stuff as well. I asked on twitter “what tools would you recommend on windows to manage remote desktops?”

here is the list I got:

• RemoteNG - oldie but a goodie
• Microsoft’s own free RDCMan - nice and simple
• RoyalTS – windows, mac and mobile, not free. I found this one very annoying and laborious to configure, although it did work well
• Terminals – open source client
• MultiRdPC – open source client
• Cord – (mac only) – open source client that I really like on the mac. easier to use than royalts and free.

other ideas? specific recommendations? comment!

side note: if you ever wondered how to enable multiple RDP sessions to a windows 2008 server, here.
