I am trying to set up a remote desktop connection to multiple
computers within my office network, but can only figure out how to get
it to work for one. Basically, I want to be able to login in via
remote desktop to 3 different computers for remote troubleshooting and

the other two computers out. Is there a way to specify which computer
and set it up? Thanks.
