Trying to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe) to connect to the console of a remote Windows machine? Coming from Microsoft Windows Vista SP1, or Windows Server 2008, or XP SP3? The old style of:
host.name.com /console
not working? It tells you “An unknown parameter was specified in computer name field?” Yeah, with RDP 6.1 they changed it to:
host.name.com /admin
Props to my colleague Steve Tanner for the tip. More information can be found at the Terminal Services Team Blog.
