Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / March 2006RDP with /console switch
I recently upgraded my machine to XP Pro SP2. One of my roles requires Remote Desktop connections to various servers and workstations. I find it very frustrating that I can no longer use the /CONSOLE switch when addressing a server, now that I am using the RDP native to XP. Is there a way to address this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. > I recently upgraded my machine to XP Pro SP2. One of my roles > requires Remote Desktop connections to various servers and > workstations.

Search using Google! http://www.google.com/ (How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html ) Where can I download the Remote Desktop Connection 5.2 software (the Windows Server 2003 TS client)? http://www.petri.co.il/download_rdp_5_2.htm SignatureShenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > > I recently upgraded my machine to XP Pro SP2.

Where did you get that idea? I'm using version 5.1 and console option works just fine. >I recently upgraded my machine to XP Pro SP2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just to clarify, the '/console" switch only works when connecting to a 2003 server. It does NOT work on 2000 or XP. Somebody please prove me wrong. ; ) Clay Calvert CCalvert@Zanguru.com Replace "Z" with "L" It's not that it doesn't work on xp, it's that you are *always* conencting to the console when you conenct to xp pro. Your session ID is always 0. > >I recently upgraded my machine to XP Pro SP2. One of my roles requires Remote > >Desktop connections to various servers and workstations.

This works fine with the console switch. However, the shortcuts that I have (which are centrally accessible by everyone in my team) to the servers, invoke the OLD (5.1) version of RDP which doesn't accept the /CONSOLE switch. This is getting very frustrating! > > I recently upgraded my machine to XP Pro SP2.

This is getting very frustrating! So change your shortcuts/create new ones using 5.2. It's under Program Files - not in System32.
