Re: How to logon via TS in Windows 2003 as the console user session?



Use the /console command line switch.

For more information, open up Help and Support on your 2003
server and search for remote desktop console. In there you will
find thorough explanations as well as step-by-step instructions on
using the above command line switch.

Thanks.
