Windows system administrators generally prefer RDP for server management. Management some servers with Remote Desktop Tool is easy and practical. But If we have 50-100 or more servers it may become a nightmare. We have to remember their IP address or Hostnames and write to them every time we want to connect. There is a native solution provided by Microsoft named Remote Desktop Connection Manager or RDCMan.
Windows系统管理员通常更喜欢RDP进行服务器管理。 使用远程桌面工具管理某些服务器既简单又实用。 但是,如果我们拥有50-100台或更多服务器,则可能会成为一场噩梦。 我们必须记住他们的IP地址或主机名,并在每次要连接时写信给他们。 Microsoft提供了一个名为“远程桌面连接管理器”或RDCMan的本地解决方案。
Recently Microsoft the creator of the RDCMan, promotes using Windows Virtual Desktop or MSTSC instead of the RDCMan. But there is no restriction about the RDCMan usage which can be used to connect remote Windows servers or VMs easily.
最近,RDCMan的创建者Microsoft提倡使用Windows虚拟桌面或MSTSC代替RDCMan。 但是对RDCMan的使用没有任何限制,可以用于轻松连接远程Windows服务器或VM。

为RDCMan创建数据库(Create Database For RDCMan)
Remote Desktop Connections are stored in a minimal database. For the first time usage, this database should be created. This provides the flexibility to use multiple databases which contains different data sets. We can also exchange existing database with others easily. We should create a database for RDCMan to store saved session information.
远程桌面连接存储在一个最小的数据库中。 首次使用时,应创建此数据库。 这提供了使用包含不同数据集的多个数据库的灵活性。 我们还可以轻松地与他人交换现有数据库。 我们应该为RDCMan创建一个数据库,以存储保存的会话信息。

We name the database file name as mysessions
and put wherever we want.
我们将数据库文件名命名为mysessions
然后放置在所需的任何位置。

After the database created we will see the file name in the side menu like below.
