Best tool to manage RDP server connections
As title really, what's the best tool to manage several remote desktop connections. My team looks after 80 or so servers so ideally I'd like a tool to store them. I know there are loads available but was wondering what you guys use

I use the old connection manager that I had on win2k (think it was called conman.exe)
I also use folders full of shortcuts or a webpage with links to launch the RDP session/mgmt iLo/RSA etc..
Keeping it simple I'm also interested in what other apps people use?

When you say manage... do you mean see who is using them, or ease of using them yourselves?
If it's the latter I would suggest Remote Desktops snap-in (note the plural). You can have a list of all the Servers you connect to in one easy to manage list.
The only downside is that it does not rearrange the order, so get it right first time

I use
VisionApp Remote Desktop
or
Remote Desktop Manager
The free version of Remote Desktop Manager is excellent. You can have a shared Access database of all your servers. Also does SSH, Citrix, FTP, LogMeIn, Dameware and more...
You can pay for the Enterprise version which lets you use SQL instead of Access.
