Royal TS: Easy Remote Desktop Connections

Royal TS allows you to organize and manage multiple remote desktop connections. Connect to any machine where terminal services are enabled. Organize connections in custom categories for quick access. Connect directly to the console session and find out who else is connected to the machine.

Key Features:

Session Information

Display all current active, connected and disconnected sessions, including the username which is logged on and the client host name. (If the user account which Royal TS is running with doesn't have the right to read out the remote user sessions, you will be asked to provide valid credentials.)

Connect to Console

Connect to the interactive console session. Even if you haven't configured your connection to do so, you can now easily connect to the console via the context menu when you right-click a connection. (This feature is only available if the remote server is either Windows 2003 (any Edition) or Windows XP with remote desktop connection enabled. Windows 2000 doesn't support this feature!)

RDP Port

Change the target RDP port. Sometimes it's necessary to change the default port (3389) to another one. For security reason or if another service needs to use this port. KB187623 describes how to change the listening port on the remote machine.

Automatic Logon

Specify logon credentials individually for each connection. With autologon enabled you just have to double click on the connection and you're already logged in. The password will be encrypted and stored in the .rts-file.

Additional Features:

  • Organize multiple connections in different categories.
  • Change the sort order of categories and connections (Using the keyboard shortcuts speeds things up!).
  • Change the category a connection belongs to.
  • Define default values for new connections using the options dialog.
  • Specify an autostart document which will load right after starting up Royal TS.
  • Start a connection from command line:
    /connect:"Connection Name"
  • Two modes for each connection available: embedded in Royal TS or opening another window.
  • Smart Size Mode: Get rid of scrollbars if you resize the main window. The remote desktop content will be scaled.

What's New

  • Re: External monitor screen not remembered

    I don't know if this will help, but here are the symptoms I see. Whenever I add or remove my extended desktop while Royal TS is minimized, the program seems to be positioned off screen to the left. I have done some experiments and set the system to save setting on exit, and from the xml below you can see that the app has saved WindowLeft as -32000...

  • re: Set-NotificationForAlert

    Criteria Properties can be any Property that exits in the Alerts table of the OperationsManager Database. There is no column named "MonitoringRuleId" in the actual Alerts database table, but there is a column named RuleId and it has the same value as the MonitoringRuleId attribute. From Jakub's intial post about this process: "In terms...

    Where did you find that you must be using the property "RuleId" than "MonitoringRuleId"? If you use the real attribute name "MonitoringRuleId" you get errors at the RMS. How did you manage to know which property name the criteria field would accept?

  • re: Set-NotificationForAlert

    ignore my post right above this one. Here is how I was able to get it working with rules: change: if ($Alerts.ProblemId -eq $null) { if ($Alerts.Count -gt 0) { $ProblemID = $Alerts[0].ProblemId.ToString() } else { throw write-host "No alert was found with the specified name" } } else { $ProblemId = $Alerts.ProblemId.ToString() } to: if ($Alerts...

  • Re: cannot create connections or save default settings

    I deleted the configs but am still having the same issue. I’m sure that there is probably something on my machine that is keeping it from working properly. I tried to uninstalling and reinstalling Royal TS 1.5 but same results. My next step will be to uninstall .net and reinstall it. If you have any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks...
