Remoet Desktop custom MMC Snap-In

Hi everyone

I use on a Vista PC the server admin pack to locally administrate some of
the funtions of the server 2003 machine. The "remote desktops" snap-in
allows me to specifiy multiple connections on the left, and when clicking on
one, open the related remote desktop on the right. All of it works fine,
until I want to access one of the machines that uses a custom remote desktop
port. typically it would just be the IP address or server name with a ":"
and the port number (server01:4000) and would then use port 4000 for that
connection. However in this remote desktops snaip in my custom mmc, it tells
me I cannot put a colon....... anyone have any idea how I can use this
snap-in and specifiy a port number ?

Thanks

can't help but you can tell me where i can get the pack you're using
please????

It was available in the Win2K3 Adminpak, which isn't "available" for
Vista..

Sorry, posted that on the wrong thread. It was a part of the Windows
2003 Server Adminpack which isn't supported on Vista.

not sure what your talkign about "not available" i use it daily and it works
perfectly, with a couple minor exceptions..... ie: cant use custom port
numbers..... but i use it for remote desktops, AD users and computers, and a
Printers snap-in all to administer things i would otherwise have to remote
desktop into 10 different servers............

I put not "available" in quotes because it doesn't work without a bit
of hacking to make it completely compatible.. It can be installed,
but you have to know what works and what doesn't.
