The other day I posted about JediConcentrate from AnAppADay.com. If you read the story on Digg article about that website you know what I’m talking about, but basically the guy has promised to write an application each day for 30 days. A week ago he posted an app called RDPManager. From anappaday:

Thanks to the app I just wrote, I can connect directly to servers at the office using a menu tree that I setup. I can group similar servers together and just click them in the menu. Instant connection. It even logs in for me. If the auto-login feature is of no use to you, have no fear, just leave the password blank and it will prompt you as it would normally.

It’s pretty easy to use and I’ve found to be extremely useful. Setup is fairly easy if you have any sort of coding experience, probably even if you don’t. Simply download the program and edit the included XML file to add all your servers. Servers can be identified by computer name or FQDN, probably even by IP address though I haven’t tried that. Just use the examples included in the file and modify to your liking. Word to the wise, if you like your RDP sessions in full screen like I do, make sure to change ScreenMode value from 1 to 0. Download RDPManager here (Day 6).
