@BBigford Yeah imo he shouldn't... that's really not someone who should be touching production servers/environments...
Well we'll see how this turns out. It is reeeeally not good. Just got off the phone with a couple people.
How recent are the backups?

I verify my backups, so I saved the day.

1AM this morning (they start after close of doors cause they typically take around 8 hours. So we lost a day, but better than a week.

@BBigford Nice! ... Do you guys not have translogs or anything to get closer to current?

I'm not sure about that one. Someone else is handling it with support. I was told in the beginning "incremental for a week, then full backups at a week is ideal". I set it at that, but the company said don't do incremental cause they don't help in this instance I guess. So they're switching over, but we lost a day.

We do keep translogs, but the way that he messed with it, and nobody knew until a week later, really messed with "what is really current?"

The reason I didn't know for sure about that one cause some production systems temporarily get moved over to circular logging.
Every time that happens I chirp up with "well if we have a catastrophe, backups won't be the same." This being one of those instances... but nobody had circular logging enabled it looks like. So things weren't totally screwed.

That one is kinda pricey for just the Remote Desktop Manager, isn't it?
Edit: I stand corrected. They do offer a free version.

Terminals is ok... still has it's quirks too. Seems like literally every RDCM software does though.

The problem is that next to every non-MS RDP client I know uses the FreeRDP lib behind the scenes. That's why they all show the same quirks

What kind of quirks do you notice? I've never noticed any with Terminals and I've been using it for several years now (and it's continually in development). You've definitely piqued my interest now :D.

For me, Terminals and one other one (I can't remember which) just absolutely refuse to open more than about 6 connections... any more than that and the connections will crash.

I've definitely never seen that issue, and I've had multiple times where I've had up to 12 connections open at once when I'm updating our servers. Have you been using the latest version(s)?

No. I'm using one called MobaXterm. It's not free, but it works really well with everything I throw at it (RDP, SSH, VNC, X Apps on occasion)... A couple of times a week, I'll have ~30 connections open and it never breaks a sweat.

- Copy & paste doesn't work
- Window resize has a chance to crash the connection
- Connection handling like dafyre said

Ah, sorry to hear it has had those quirks for you guys :-/. I've never experienced any of those issues, but I'm glad you have another great tool to use :).

What Antivirus do you use, @thwr ? I have to specifically allow some apps to be able to copy & paste in Webroot.
