Terminals is a secure, multi tab terminal services/remote desktop client. It uses Terminal Services ActiveX Client (mstscax.dll). The project started from the need of controlling multiple connections simultaneously. It is a complete replacement for the mstsc.exe (Terminal Services) client. This is official source moved from Codeplex.
The mstsc provides the /admin switch that is crucially important when managing the Remote Desktop Services Session Hosts, as it allows you to connect (and manage) directly to a specified host, bypassing any redirections that Connection Broker would otherwise force.
Example:
you have an open session on Host1, but want to manage Host2;
you connect with Terminals to Host2, but Connection Broker forces mstsc to redirect to Host1 where you have an open session
Expected behavior:
there should be a setting that would forward the equivalent of mstsc /admin to the RDP client;
the option should be available both at a single host level and globally (default on or off).
Without such feature Terminals is unusable in managing RDS farms.
Hi,
I miss this feature too, does it exist in 4.0.1, I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation or in the Terminals menus.
Is there an ongoing project/branch about this?
