Client Connection Manager Overview
Client Connection Manager

Client Connection Manager can make rapid connections to either the Terminal Server or a specific program that you would like to run on the Terminal Server. If you are using Terminal Server only to access an accounting program, you can create a connection to Terminal Server that launches only that program.

{bmct bullet.bmp}	The Terminal Server Client connection in the program group where you installed the client software, is a default connection. When you use this connection to access a server, the information you supply (server name, resolution, user name, and domain) are saved by this default connection. The Terminal Server Client connection will not appear in Client Connection Manager but it will be exported with all of the connections listed in Client Connection Manager if you choose Export All.
