I just installed a new 2003 Server.

Installed the Admin pack on my pc but don't see the Remote Desktop
connection utility that allows me to connect to my servers. Where do I get
this?

You run the command mstsc.exe.
 
Re: Remote Desktop connection

It usually comes with XP. Under Accessories/Communication.

Re: Remote Desktop connection

Remote Desktop Connection is not part of the adminpak.msi. It is a normal feature installed on all
Windows 2003, XP, Vista and Server 2008 computer by default. There is normally a shortcut to it in
Start, All Programs, Accessories.

There is also an MMC snap-in - Remote Desktops - for viewing multiple remote desktop connections in
one window. This is available on Windows Server 2003 and 2008 by default - it should be in Start,
All Programs, Administrative Tools (for 2008, Start, All Programs, Administrative Tools, Terminal
Services).

Or as stated by Pegasus, you can launch a remote desktop connection using the mstsc program (which
is the program launched by the default Remote Desktop Connection shortcut).

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Re: Remote Desktop connection

Hello Rockitman,

Adminpak doesn't include the Remote desktop connection. It is built in, just
run mstsc on the run line to open it. Also make sure that the server has
Remote desktop enabled and that the server has a password for the administrator
if you use that account. Without password you can not connect with remote
desktop.

Best regards
