Barry, it looks like you would either use the old ConnectToServerConsole or the new ConnectToAdministerServer. I saw the new one mentioned in the KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947723. There it is described as a property for an interface, but I suspect it may work in the rdp file (didn't try it).

While it doesn't mention the new setting, the following page seems to be the most useful in describing the rdp file: http://www.coe.uncc.edu/mosaic/remote_desk/RDP%20File%20Settings.htm.

do you know how to make an .rdp file to connect to the console for a 6.1 rdp client to a 2003 server? Seems they changed the switch to /admin but left out any sort of way to do it in the .rdp file. help!

thank you,

Barry

Marc, I mentioned the /console command line switch, but I'd really like to have the standard RDC GUI contain an option to connect to the console rather than having it be a command line option or a manual change to the .RDP option.

We have published today a new version with some support for RDP 6.0 features. Enjoy.

You did miss it.... the prior version AND this version support the command-line option /console to connect to the console. You can also change any .RDP file by opening it with notepad and adding this to the end:

connect to console:i:1
