I’m severely disappointed that Microsoft has removed from Server 2012 the tools required for managing and configuring Remote Desktop for Administration. On previous server editions, I’ve used the Remote Desktop Services Manager to troubleshoot colleagues and delegated administrators’ access issues. We’ve also had situations where the SSL certificate used to identify the server and to encrypt traffic has expired and needed some intervention.
Some discussion on Mark Minasi’s support forum indicates that some of this functionality is returning in Server 2012 R2. In the meantime, and until all our servers get upgraded, I’ll be using a combination of the Task Manager (which shows user sessions),
and Process Explorer, which can show the username and start time for process.
