Remote Desktop Commander Version 6 Sneak Peak

First of all, a big thank you to all of our customers who participated in our product feature survey we sent out a few months ago, and congratulations to James W., our winner of the randomly drawn $150 Amazon Gift Card. Based on your feedback, the biggest need identified was a comprehensive, top level dashboard displaying the health of your RDS deployment. So that’s what we’ve been hard at work on, and that’s what will be the cornerstone feature of our upcoming Version 6 release.

Version 6 of Remote Desktop Commander will offer better integration with Remote Desktop Canary databases so you can see recent login durations and errors directly atop the new dashboard. The health status of your Remote Desktop Gateway servers and Connection Brokers will also be displayed, in terms of whether or not those infrastructure services are running, their CPU and memory loads, connection statistics, database response times, etc. Finally, you can see the general health of specific collections and host pools in your RDS and AVD deployments, in terms of things like CPU/Memory load, session counts, average sessions per host, latency, and user input delay.

Clicking on specific subitems in the dashboard will in turn launch other dashboards and reports so you can quickly drill into areas of interest for a closer inspection.

Furthermore, Remote Desktop Commander v6 will offer additional new reports related to Remote Desktop Gateways and Connection Brokers, such as connection statistics, reason for connection failures, connection broker database responsiveness, and other metrics.

We’d love for you to participate in a beta of Remote Desktop Commander v6 once it is ready. To do so, please sign up here and we’ll notify you when the beta becomes available.

We have many customers worldwide who currently use one of our commercial tools (Remote Desktop Commander Suite, Remote Desktop Canary, Premium Management Features) for monitoring their Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments.

We greatly appreciate both of these groups, as they are the reason for our success.
