→Logging out from a Remote Desktop Session
To end the session select ''Start'', click on the right arrow button in the bottom right hand corner of the menu and select ''Log Off''. This will close down the remote desktop session and close the remote desktop client.
== Running Multiple Remote Desktops ==
Multiple concurrent remote desktops can be run and managed within a single window using the MMC ''Remote Desktops'' snap-in. This may either be ''snapped'' into the MMC or launched from the command-line or a Run dialog by typing:
<pre>
tsmmc.msc
</pre>
Once launched right click on the ''Remote desktops'' item in the tree and select ''Add a new connection'' from the menu. Once selected the ''Add New Connection'' dialog will appear as follows:

In this dialog enter the IP address or computer name of the remote system together with the User name and the name to be assigned to this connection (this is essntial the name by which this connection will be listed and administered inside the Remote Desktops snap-in). For an administrative session (as opposed to a virtual session) set the ''Connect with /admin'' box.
