Remote Desktop Connection Manager (rdcman.exe) 3334 problem

On Windows 8, Remote desktop connection manager has the annoying habit of throwing unexplainable error messages after opening more than a couple of connections, with error code 3334

If you are managing dozens of development (or live) environments, this is bloody annoying.

I have seen several proposed solutions on the net for this problem, this is the one that worked for everyone in our office, but as always, your mileage may vary.

  1. Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt with Administrative priviliges
  2. cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Desktop Connection Manager"
  3. editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE rdcman.exe
After this (at least for us), rdcman just works like it's supposed to.
