/console switch does nothing since Vista SP1

[Guest Mark Barnes (Jao)]

Hi

 

Since I installed Vista SP1 the /console switch no longer lets me log into

the RDP server console. I just get another session created.

 

Anyone else get the same?

 

Cheers

Check out Visonapp Remote Desktop Manager (free) - it rocks when you have a

lot of machines to remotely manage.

Not just for the sake of change.

Since the console session on Vista and Windows 2008 is not an

interactive session anymore, the /console flag to mstsc became an

inappropriate name.

I can understand that this is not a change for the sake of change. However

this is still poorly executed. MS should have made it more VISIBLE in XP

SP3. I think the deployment of it was poorly communicated. If you google

the console switch a lot of posts come up talking about this. Even after

reading the white papers and other docs, the place I found the info I was

looking for is in the Server 2008

Yes, I agree that it would have been better to either support both

the /console and the /admin flag, or pop-up a warning when the

/console flag is used, explaining that it has been changed to the

/admin flag.
