ah... unfortunately each Admin has 3-4 monitors and regularly have them distributed across each of them. I don't think RDM can handle that... I will however have them test out using it in embedded mode. Can we force Display=Embedded in the RDM interface (and not let the user change it?)

Xanacas, unfortunately that would disable RDP in general. I believe that RDM still uses mstsc as a connection method to windows systems. I still need RDP access to servers... only i need to restrict it to RDP launched from RDM.

Thanks David... just thought of something.

This will work if we change the RDP port in RDM to something obscure, then only allow this port on all servers as the RDP port. Then hide the port value in RDM from anybody that is not part of the Administrators group.

This way (unless you can guess or sniff the net) you are forced to use RDM as your server connectivity tool, enforcing the audit of all connections made to servers...

Can PVM and RDM (Enterprise versions) be installed on the same server?

Is there anyway that i can force my people to use RDM to launch Remote desktop to connect to servers instead of manually clicking on the Microsoft default Remote desktop connection client? I depend on RDM's auditing function to watch if and who logs in with Administrator username.
