Personally, I live and die by Windows RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)/Terminal Services. It is an absolutely fabulous way to connect to and manage Windows Servers and (Professional) desktops. The only drawback to this, ironically, is the default Windows RDP connection program. While it works great, there are absolutely zero “usability” features with regards to handling multiple connections. This is no longer a problem with Terminals.
Terminals is a free program which allows you to have multiple connections simultaneously and easily switch between them via a tabbed interface (no more minimize one and restore the other). Additionally you can connect to a variety of additional protocols, such as VNC and Citrix ICA, which makes this a virtual one-stop application for remote connection. Even better, you can access all the network tools you need such as DNS, TraceRT and Ping all from the application.
If you are a system admin using Windows, get this program now.
