However, RDCMan was never a fully-featured solution for remote management, and Microsoft rolled out alternative tools across the years.
Microsoft kept the tool up to date across the years, even reaching v2.7 in 2014, the time of its last update. RDCMan was always a standalone tool, not included with Windows OS versions, yet, it gained a lot of traction with system administrators in the late 2000s and early 2010s, when there weren't that many tools of its kind available online for free. The app, which was developed by the former Windows Live Experience team for their internal use, has been available for download from the Microsoft website since the late 2000s. Microsoft has discontinued this week its Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) application following the discovery of a security flaw.Īs its name suggests, the app allows users to connect remotely to other Windows computers via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol).
