Final answer:

To manage computers at construction sites without forcing users to constantly reconnect, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a suitable technology.

RDP allows you to control remote Windows 10 Pro computers from a central location even with poor or intermittent internet connectivity, without the need for constant reconnection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allows you to control and manage the Windows 10 Pro computers at the construction sites from a central location, even if the internet connectivity is poor or intermittent.

RDP works by transmitting the user's keystrokes and mouse movements from their local computer to the remote computer and sending the screen updates from the remote computer back to the user. This means that the remote computer does all the processing, while the local computer acts as a thin client. As a result, the users do not have to constantly reconnect to the remote computers.

In addition to RDP, other remote access technologies like Virtual Private Network (VPN) can also be used to securely connect to the construction sites' computers. However, VPN may require more bandwidth and could be less suitable for poor or intermittent internet connections.
