Wolfgang, thanks for the suggestion. I’ve never used Windows Admin Center, but it looks like the Microsoft version of VMware’s Vcenter, and would likely be a great tool to manage servers. The biggest limitation I see is that you can’t use it to manage non-server endpoints. Still a great option for a SysAdmin.
I do think it’s a great option, and will see if I can add a new section for two other free tools that can be helpful in remote access of endpoints.

Steve, you’re 100% correct. There are many commercial solutions that do provide remote access. Teamviewer is another one that I used with great success. For this article, I tried to restrict the solutions to either the built-in applications, or those provided for free by Microsoft.
