About Remote Desktop Connection Manager
RDCMan manages large numbers of RDP connections, which suits server labs, data centres and anyone who logs in to the same set of machines regularly. Servers are arranged in named groups, and you can connect or disconnect every server in a group with one command.
A thumbnail view shows live sessions for a whole group at once. Servers can inherit logon settings from their parent group or a credential store, so changing a password updates every connection that uses it. Version 3.21 was published in August 2026.
