Connecting from Windows 7 client to Windows server console session vis Remote Desktop (Terminal Services):
- To connect to Windows Server 2003
mstsc -v:<server_name> /F /console
This allows to connect to session 0 which is physical console session. - To connect to Windows Server 2008
mstsc -v:<server_name> /F /admin
Windows Server 2008 changes to architecture means that session 0 is only used to run services. To connect to a session which normally has keyboard and mouse connected use /admin switch.
