Part 1: What is Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) 2012?

Released alongside Windows Server 2012, RDCMan 2.7 (build 2.7.1406.0) was designed to solve a simple problem: the native mstsc.exe (Microsoft Terminal Services Client) is single-threaded. If you manage 20 servers, you need 20 open windows.

Centralized Interface: View all your servers in a tree-based navigation pane or as a set of live thumbnails.

However, Microsoft later open-sourced the tool and republished it on GitHub. While the GitHub version is newer (versions 2.7, 2.8, etc.), the "2012" version you are searching for is effectively version 2.2 or 2.7, which maintains the same feature set as the classic 2012-era tool.
