PowerShell to the rescueĪ philosopher somewhere once said, “It is when we dread doing something that we become most inventive.” He must have been a really smart guy, because I decided then and there that I wasn’t going to hand code my RDC Man connection files anymore! I was going to automate it! I’ll admit I wasn’t looking forward to setting RDC Man up. However, recently I have found myself again in a position where I need to add many connections from a new environment. Then I realized that the connection file is just a plain text file, so I started copying and pasting.


I’ll admit the first few times I set up my connections I did it by hand. I love this tool! It’s great … except for one thing: it’s a pain to set up the first time, especially when you have a lot of servers to add. I can configure servers to inherit settings from the group they are part of in RDC Man.It’s flexible! I can choose to view my RDP sessions inside of RDC Man (docked), or break them out across multiple monitors (un-docked).The desktop of each RDP session can be set to automatically resize to fit the RDC Man window.I can store credentials (with or without passwords) to make quick RDP connections.If you don’t already have it, you can download it from Microsoft at: Like many others, I use Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDC Man) daily to connect to the Servers I administer.
