XP Service Pack 3 — Remote Desktop Change

calendar Posted on May 13, 2008   comments One Comment

If you’re an XP user used to using the /console switch to manage your servers, be aware that going to Service Pack 3 will alter your Remote Desktop options a bit.

Specifically, you’ll now need to use the /admin switch instead.

This makes it very similar to using Remote Desktop with Vista, as I discovered earlier this year when I couldn’t get console access from Vista (the solution was provided in the comments).

For reference, here are the new command line arguments to mstsc (the command line equiv of Remote Desktop Connection):
