vRD 2008 is a tool for the management of remote Windows computers via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). vRD is ideal for administrators who need to maintain simultaneous connections to multiple servers. Connection-specific settings and login credentials can be organized in folders and subfolders for quick access.

visionapp Remote Desktop 2008 is currently one of the most popular products in the market of RDP tools. visionapp Remote Desktop 2008 Express (vRD 2008 Express) offers a multiple number of enhancements and new features compared to the freeware version vRD 1.5, such as the extended support of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista (incl. 64-Bit), an overview on all logged in users and connection history.

Limitations of vRD 2008 Express:

• up to 15 objects
• 5 credentials storable
• no Database-Modus available
• duration is valid until 3-31-2009

With some enhancements and limitations the tool is still out there for public. I used the freeware versions before and still like the Office interface. Good opportunity to check the tool yourself before buying it. Looking into the future plans of mRemote and vRD I think I will buy the license somewhere next year ;).

Please register and download the tool from here if you want to test it.

Don’t worry the limitations is working after you start creating the 16th connection:
