Remote Desktop is an important tool for any System
Administrator or Help Desk Technician who manages Windows servers and desktops
on-premises or in the cloud. However, the remote desktop client that Microsoft
bundles with Windows leaves a lot to be desired. This is where RD Tabs comes
in.
RD Tabs is the original advanced multi-tabbed Windows Remote
Desktop client and connection manager. It started back in 2006 with a simple
idea: bring the then new idea of tabbed web browsers to remote desktop. From
there, a way to remember saved session properties that was superior to a bunch
of .rdp files was added (favorites), including the ability to batch edit
multiple favorites at a time, making management of stored passwords simple. But
why stop there? Features allowing split-screen, multiple Windows, scaled
desktop sizes were added. Now in present day more advanced features are coming
fast. From an integrated PowerShell scripting engine, to colored tabs for
organization, RD Tabs makes a System Administrator’s life so much easier.
Coming later in 2018: RD Tabs Premium. While the standard
version of RD Tabs is and will continue to be free, advanced features for business
and enterprise users will be coming later this year. These features will
include shared favorites, desktop shadowing, a portable installation for USB drives,
Active Directory integration, and much more.
