I ran into the same problem this weekend. I wanted to use the Remote
Desktops to give me access to the console session on a windows 2003 server
(which has a different default port configured).
I found that you can type MSTSC /console
from a command line to bring up the standard remote desktop window but with
the console "flag" set (even though it is not on the screen). You can then
specify whatever port you want.
Would be very nice though if MS could remove the check for ":" and allow for
a port number in Remote Desktops.
