Re: Problems with Service Pack 3 and "Connect to console"

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Try using:
administrative session:i:1
instead of:
connect to console:i:1

Maybe it's only "broken" for you, for whatever reason.

I recommend that you avail yourself of...

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

MMC 3.0 is installed on the servers already.

Moving forward, what are Microsoft's plans to release a fix for this?

Also see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907265. MMC 3.0 will need to be
installed in Windows Server 2003, too.

Ok...

From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480/ ->
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480/ ->
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925876/ (Remote Desktop Connection
(Terminal
Services Client 6.0))

So MSTSC 6.0 is included with SP 3. MSTSC 6.0 has a change of commands
for
connecting to the console. /console is replaced by /admin.

The command change seemingly breaks the snap-in version of Remote
Desktops.
I assume MS is working on a fix?

Good morning,

It appears that with the installation of Service Pack 3 to Windows XP
Pro,
the "Connect to console" function no longer works in the Remote
Desktop
mmc
snap-on when connecting to Windows 2003 Servers. I would assume this
is
caused by the command change in RDP 6.x, from /console to /admin.

Can anyone verify this?

Thanks,

Dave
