OpenSSH.
Remote Desktop in Remote Administration mode is not enough to count on.
If the box isn't supporting some sort of lights out management, having
an additional supported connectivity method can be the difference of a
late night or weekend trip to the office to kill off the zombied
remote desktop sessions - or just firing up your favorite ssh client
and having a bash shell to handle the problem that you were trying to
resolve, prior to having a lack of RDP access to deal with.
