Introducing Remote Desktop Connection Manager
Wednesday, 01 July 2009 by Michel Roth
In Windows 2008 R2, MS added a new MMC snap-in called Remote Desktop Connection Manager (SBMGR.msc on the Connection Broker machine). This Remote Desktop Connection Manager UI tool is available on a Remote Desktop Connection Broker server. It allows the administrator to easily configure and organize RemoteApp and Desktop Connections (RADC) resources.

The end users can then access these resources with familiar methods such as Web Access and RADC. These resources include RemoteApp programs and virtual desktops. Virtual desktops include virtual machines in virtual desktop pools and personal virtual desktops.

With this useful, easy-to-use UI tool, an administrator can: Configure settings for virtual desktops, such as redirection settings, Remote Desktop Gateway settings, common/custom RDP settings, etc.) Create a virtual desktop pool Assign a personal virtual desktop to a user Easily diagnose configuration issues - The snap-in provides a report of your latest deployment status. It will flag misconfigurations with a red cross or warning sign, and also provide appropriate links to the documents/properties pages/wizards to correct the misconfigurations Make RemoteApp programs from a RemoteApp source available to users Create a client configuration file for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections to distribute to users
