I just finished installing SP3 on my Win XP Pro machine. Up until now I have
been able to log onto one of our Win 2003 R2 servers using "servername
/console" in the Computer: boxso that I could go to a running application
and check status. Now that I have installed SP3 I get an error that states
that "An unknown parameter was specified in computer name field." It
connects without the /console by opening another user session. I had this
problem many months ago and updating RDC fixed the problem. Now it's back.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just found out that SP3 installs mstsc version 6.1 and the /console switch
is no longer supported. The /admin switch will do the job.
