Mun, you can actually import existing RDP files. Just select and drop them somewhere (except the tree) on RDM. It does not however look at the directory structure so you have to set the group manually.

Saving the password would require some reverse engineering of the MSTSC tool from microsoft. If I can make a suggestion: upgrade the RDP client: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925876 . The new MSTSC has a lot of new features and the security model in completely rewritten. It is still not possible to save from within RDM, but the process of storing the passwords in MSTSC works more logically (to my opinion).
You only have to install the new MSTSC once after that you can copy mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from system32 to the RDM folder.

So hopefully this info is of any help to you.

Update: The new MSTSC is portable, but you need some more files to make it work. In System32 there is a map en-us with the files mstsc.exe.mui and mstscax.dll.mui. Copy those files (including the en-us directory) to the same location a you put mstsc.exe en mstscax.dll.

Looks like a useful tool, though it would be nice if we could set the password from within the application directly.

At present, there doesn’t seem like there’s an option to do this, so getting the password saved is a case of creating the connection in RDM, then creating it from the standard RD tool with the password and save password option checked, and then saving the rdp connection file over the one created by RDM in the connections folder.

Another useful feature would be to import existing connections from RDP files, or perhaps even go as far as to build the tree from the RDP files in the connections folder. That way we could just copy existing RDP files into the folder and name them using the Group-Name format.

Overall though, looks like a useful tool and will help to avoid the clutter of having lots of icons for different remote desktops

Dear sir,
thanks faithfully for your help which you are presented for me . There is an important notice on your project that it makes the client locked when the server connected. I hope from you to answer me about my questioneer. Ineed to remote the client with out make it lock.
i.e any action the server do on the client’s desktop can be seen by the client itself.

with my all respects.

Well Da’3las the error means something expected was not provided. You can try to change the highlighted exception block in picture two to:

catch( Exception pe )
{
throw pe;
}

Hi
Daniel really I would like to thank you very much for your interest and your help.
1)Concerning ignoring the warnning message, in fact when I build a solution i don’t get the ain form, I view only a consol for 1 second and no form is running.
2)what is the role of the project ” setuphelper” in your solution?

Really thank your very much for your responses.

didou, in reaction to both of your questions:
1) Why not use Visual Studio Express, it’s free even for commercial use. I guess the pre-build step is at the same location as VS Express:
Menu Project > RemoteDesktopManager Properties… > Build Events, then empty the text-field for Pre-build event command line

2) As you can read in the source-code, you can ignore the AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId() warning.

Ahh
it is ok I’ve left it out but I have a new warnning :
Warning 1 ‘System.AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId()’ is obsolete: ‘AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId has been deprecated because it does not provide a stable Id when managed threads are running on fibers (aka lightweight threads). To get a stable identifier for a managed thread, use the ManagedThreadId property on Thread. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202‘ D:\mon PFE\interessant\tscm_src_1.0\RemoteDesktopManager\Utility.cs 86 83 RemoteDesktopManager

what to do in this casa? thank you for your help
Regards
