Enhance the "Connect when Available" button

Hi,

When I reboot a computer, I will get a screen that has options for Connect, Connect when Available, and something else. I love the When Available button, but it could be enhanced to make it work better.

My normal usage is 1) Reboot the server. 2) Wait a couple seconds. 3) Click Connect when available.

When I do this, RDM will attempt to ping the server. Once it is successful, it tries to connect. The problem is that just because the server is pingable, doesn't mean it's RDP'able. Most of the time, the server is up far enough to respond to a ping, but not up far enough to actually be remoted into. This means the RDP connection fails and I'm back at the screen with the same buttons as above.

What I'd love to see is after RDM is able to ping the server and tries to connect, it the connection fails, it should wait a few seconds and repeat the process. It should then keep doing that until it either Connects or I click Cancel. That way it would be a lot easier for me to not have to keep clicking Connect when available over and over until it actually is available.

Thanks.
