How to RDP to W2K Server Console?

[Brad Houser]

MSTSC.exe /? says you can add /console to connect to the console session.
However, a KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311926 says this
doesn't work for W2K server, only XP and 2003 Server.

Anyone know a way to control this? Occasionally when I reconnect, I am given
the option of connecting to session 0 or 1, but I know of no way to force
this.

The /console switch only works when connecting to a server
running RDP 5.2. Windows 2000 doesn't run RDP 5.2, it
runs RDP 5.0, so this feature isn't supported. If you
need console access, I would look into using PCAnywhere or
VNC.

On W2K TS, you can not connect to the console session.
You'll need pcAnywhere or VNC to do this.
