console switch for Remote Desktop Client for Mac

posted Tuesday, 4 March 2008

 

On windows one useful way to boot someone off of a windows server who has logged in via remote desktop (but hasn't yet logged off correctly) is to start the remote desktop client from the command line with the console switch :

-> start ->run mstsc /console

I've been looking for a way to do this for ages with the remote desktop connection client for mac. The latest version allows you to now do this by entering the IP address followed by /console.

 

UPDATE: In a race to find out who could find out how to do this on Linux - my colleague Mike discovered that if you click on the performance tab - there is an option to 'attach to client'  :)

Very nice. As someone who's just now getting into the gap between the two worlds, I'm sure this will be helpful. Thanks, Kola.
