You’ll notice that this tool provides a centralized mechanism to remotely control multiple sessions at once, across multiple servers at once.  A boon for WSFC clusters, NLB clusters, and even virtual servers, the Remote Desktop Connection Manager includes the ability to connect or disconnect to multiple servers as a group.  It can also save passwords for speeding up the login process. Remote Desktop Connection Manager is a free download.   Get the very best virtual tips and tricks at http://www.windowsitpro.com/categories/category/Virtualization/GregShieldsonVirtualization.aspx!
