For everybody who has to manage a large number of servers and use the RDC mmc snap-in have a look at the remote desktop tool from here. It allows you to import lists of servers, sort and group by folder etc.

Hmmm, useful, but a tad reserved about the whole 'Freeware Encrypted Credential' ****

Well you odn't have to put credentials in, you cna be prompted for them everytime.

So it has not further functionallity over RDC then, as you can multi list servers in there and task through with the Alt + Tab key

You can import long lists of machines and sort them by name. Add credentials if you want etc. When I have 100+ servers in RDC finding the one I want is almost impossible as you cant sort the list. It has the overview screen and its also easy to see what machines you have a connection to

Its an improvement to the MMC management interface, uses the default RDP connection stuff, its free and it serves my needs. If its not for you then fair enough.
