It will save your username and password for RDP as well. It also supports direct shell commands through command line.  I have used this to fire off applications that are not natively supported by the software.  And best of all it supports shared databases, so if you have a few techs doing remote work its indispensable. The application is not perfect, it is somewhat memory intensive, but is an awesome must have find for anyone managing a bunch of stuff at once.

And no I have no affiliation with them, just a good chunk of code :)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ControlTerminal Serverf\DenyTSConnections
DWORD value: 0

Or for you Kaseya people out there.

Script Name: OH SHIT RDP ON
Script Description: Enable Remote Desktop

Script Name: rdp
Script Description: Enable Remote Desktop

IF True
THEN
   Set Registry Value
     Parameter 1 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ControlTerminal Serverf\DenyTSConnections
     Parameter 2 : 0
     Parameter 3 : REG_DWORD
         OS Type : 0
ELSE

If you use Kaseya you can run this script accross your network or as part of your inital setup to prevent “Oh Shit” moments in the first place.
