@djangofan - as mentioned in the answer to your question about this, the trouble with alternative RDP clients and 2k8 servers is likely that they're requiring NLA. Turn that off or make it optional and I'm fairly certain that it'll start working.

As per Chris_K's comment to your comment I like the all-in-one approach. However, from just an RDP standpoint, Microsoft's MMC snap-in is bad at managing large numbers of connections. You can't have inheritance to aid in the creation and management of multiple connections, there is no centralized connection store (SQL backend, for instance) and you can't save different sets of credentials to use for one connection. To name a few things.

As per Chris_K's comment to your comment I like the all-in-one approach. However, from just an RDP standpoint, Microsoft's MMC snap-in is bad at managing large numbers of connections. You can't have inheritance to aid in the creation and management of multiple connections, there is no centralized connection store (SQL backend, for instance) and you can't save different sets of credentials to use for one connection. To name a few things.

For Windows machines:
mRemote (Abandoned Open-Source project -- still solid. Codebase was merged with the following closed source product)- VisionApp Remote Desktop
- MuRD
Terminals (Open source project that doesn't have a whole lot of activity... could use some TLC, but it still works)

The item you need is in the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack
If you install it I think you'll find what you need.
