[THIN] Re: RDP console not working

What version of the RDP client are you running? Look at the version tab on the properties - c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe.

Are you only entering "mstsc /console" or "mstsc /admin"? Or are you entering full syntax with server value = "mstsc -v servername /admin"

I'm presuming that you are able to connect to servers via RDP, but when checking task manager you're not seeing your connection as "session 0".

I tried mstsc /console which was the old way pre Windows XP SP3. That
worked with Windows XP SP2, but again so did Remote Desktops. So not sure
what is up with this.
