I use MRemote for RDP and other connection types. Got a few glitches, but otherwise it's cool. Really missed it when working away from my desk recently.
Because most of our systems are virtual I use VI Client as the "RDP backup" for connecting to the console. On physical systems I use the DRAC's builtin console. I also utilise Veeam FastSCP for a GUI management of our ESX servers. Like the other poster, I tend to use command-line tools and scripts for managing stuff in the main (pstools is utterly invaluable, as is reg,exe, and memorising the syntax that lets you pipe in machine names from *net view *). Have used DameWare in the past and found it very good - others prefer Hyena for the same thing. MS's tools have improved somewhat so I tend to make good use of a giant MMC that combines ADUC, AD Sites and Services, Exchange management, AppSense management, Citrix console, DNS, DHCP, WSUS and many other management. MRemote, my giant MMC, a command prompt and the VI client are generally the tools I find need to be opened first. 2009/9/24 Matthew W.
