Vista SP1 - mstsc /admin and the Remote Desktops MMC

Hi,

I've just installed Vista SP1 on my Vista 32 Business and the good news
regarding to RDP is that copy+paste to/from RDP sessions is working
fine now (in Vista without Service Pack 1 the RDP clipboard sometimes
does not work properly).

Bad news however is that the mstsc /console switch has been renamed to
mstsc /admin. As a consequence, the "Connect to console" option in the
"Remote Desktops" MMC from the Windows Server 2003 Administration Pack
no longer works -- even though the option is ticked it will not let me
connect to the servers console but rather open a standard session.

Seems like the "Remote Desktops" Snap-in relies on the /console switch
which is no longer available...

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks a lot
Michael

Yea, this is a pain. Has anyone come up with a solution?

Hi,

today I've tested the RSAT 2008 (Remote Server Administration Tools)
for Vista SP1 and it solves the problem. The installation is a bit
confusing, but in the end you can select "Connect with /admin option"
within your Remote Desktops MMC Snap-In.
Hint: you can keep (almoust all) of your settings, if you save your
recent tsmmc.msc, enable the new one and then overwrite it with the old
file.
