Making sure you are using a root session? mstsc.exe /console?

[Guest boe]

Hello,

 

I'm setting up a Windows 2003 R2 X64 terminal server. I was thinking about

installing a few programs remotely this weekend. I'd like to make sure I

am in a root session when installing. I heard they were changing /console

to /home. How do I make sure once I've terminalled in that I actually am

in a root console session?

 

Thanks

The latest 6.1 rdp client (which comes with Vista SP1 and XP SP3),

uses the /admin switch in stead of the /console switch.

 

You can call your session in TS Manager or with the qwinsta command.
