Terminal Services Manager 26.10
Added 19
- An inspector on the right describes the row you pick, or the whole list when nothing is picked: CPU and memory with their trend, the state, and every property.
- An Active Directory tab in the inspector shows a user's job title, manager, groups, and password expiry, or a server's role, LAPS, and Kerberos settings.
- Summary cards between each list and its charts show the current figure, its low, average, and high, and a sparkline.
- Ctrl+Shift+P opens a command palette that finds any menu or Tools command as you type, in English or in your language.
- A sidebar on the left leads to the four sections and shows how many servers, user sessions, and processes there are.
- File > Report builds an HTML status report of the monitored servers.
- The inspector marks a reading that passes its threshold with a triangle (warning) or a diamond (critical).
- Preferences > Terminal Services > Summary cards sets each list's cards, their order and size, and the levels where they turn amber and red.
- The Servers, User sessions, and Processes lists have a row of commands above them, ending in Cards and Charts buttons.
- Tools commands can act on a session or a process, with the user, client, session, and process as variables.
- The User sessions and Processes lists have their own Tools menu with ready-made commands.
- A Tools command run on several rows asks whether to run for all of them or for the focused one.
- A Locked column on the User sessions list.
- A Locked filter on the User sessions list: the Locked sessions button and menu entry, and a Yes or No choice for the Locked field in the filter builder.
- Preferences > Terminal Services > Connection options passes extra switches to Remote Desktop when connecting and when shadowing.
- Ctrl, Shift, or Alt on a list checkbox checks or clears the whole list, inverts it, or keeps only the row you clicked.
- The application log highlights your search text in the Message column.
- A Log menu in the menu bar clears the log, exports it, and copies rows.
- Preferences > Terminal Services > Charts can hide the line style before each name in the lists.
Changed 14
- Double-clicking a row opens the inspector instead of the Details window.
- Charts scroll smoothly at a steady pace on every time window, and the setting is now called Chart scrolling.
- The application log keeps the last 10,000 entries instead of 1,000.
- Preferences navigates through a side rail that works from the keyboard.
- Terminate process is now End task.
- The End task confirmation says how many processes End all processes with this name covers, and on how many servers.
- The shadow window asks whether to open across all monitors, below View and Control, and remembers the answer.
- The Columns submenu matches the column headings menu, and both offer Size all columns to fit and Fit columns to screen.
- A row's line style on the charts is drawn before its name instead of in the Graph column.
- Graphs are now called charts everywhere: buttons, menus, and Preferences.
- View > Users is now View > User sessions.
- Power off server is now Shut down server, Users activities is now User activity, Edit in the computer list is now Properties, and Inverse is now Invert.
- Reset to defaults in the column headings and chart menus is now Restore defaults.
- The Send message window and the confirmations for Disconnect, Log off, Connect, Shadow, End task, Shut down, and Restart name their target in the title and list it in the window: the user, the process with its PID, or the servers.
Removed 3
- The toolbar: its commands are in the File and Computers menus, the computer list's right-click menu, and the sidebar.
- The row of tabs: the sidebar leads to the same sections.
- The six counters in the status bar: the sidebar and the summary cards show the same figures.
Fixed 18
- The application could crash while closing, as the threads that poll the servers were being stopped.
- Servers stopped updating for an hour when daylight saving time ended.
- Log off users on a server blocked new remote logons until the Remote Desktop Services service was restarted.
- Connect passed the password on a command line, where other programs could read it, and failed when the password held & or %.
- End task and session commands could hit another process or session if the list refreshed while the confirmation was open.
- CPU, memory, and disk readings did not load on some remote servers.
- Saved filter presets, message presets, and command lists could fail to load.
- Copy all copied rows hidden by the filter.
- The CPU time filter for processes used the wrong unit, so almost every process matched.
- System-wide configuration mode (-systemwideconfig) did not share the license between users, so each user was asked for the key separately.
- Restore defaults for the User sessions charts could restore the Servers charts instead.
- New installs refreshed server data every 3 seconds instead of every 10.
- Errors the application recovered from appeared in a message box and were never written to the log.
- The Open, Save, and folder dialogs used the old Windows look under a theme.
- Confirmation dialogs stayed light in a dark theme.
- Placeholder text in the search and filter boxes stayed in the previous language after a language change.
- Sizes and speeds ignored the formats set under General in some places.
- The application log drew its selection in a different color from every other list.
