Getting Started

RD Connection Manager software can be used by system administrators in various organizations to manage remote Windows servers and access them. As the client is platform-independent, it can be easily integrated to different Live distribution packages based on either Linux or Windows for rapid deployment of the management systems. The accounts file is encrypted by RC4 algorithm, so the file with configured accounts of remote hosts is common for supported OS.
