Ever Get stuck in the wrong Remote Desktop session on your server?
Here's a tip that will save you some grief: open Administrative Tools and then open the Terminal Services Manager.
Right click on the session you want to connect to and choose connect... BAM you're in!
How cool is that?

Here are some modifications I make to optimize my connection when using Terminal Services Manager: disable Active Desktop and reduce the connections that are created by default (like network printers). You do that by going to Start -> Run on the computer you have connected to, type in tsmmc.msc and go to Properties of RDP-Tcp. Under client settings you can specify NOT using client settings. I also disable all mappings except clipboard mappings. You turn off Active Desktop Under the Server Settings section. Particularly for patching, I really prefer the Terminal Services connection over RDP.
