Thanks for the tip!!! After upgrading to SP3 I lost the /console switch and couldn't figure how to RDP into session 0 on my server 2003 box's. This saves me as we have one specific app that will only open in the console and it's much easier to do from my desk that having to go to the server room every time!

You da man!! Saved me. However the weird thing happens on my computer is, it doesn't give any errors with /console option! And I am able to connect to 1 windows2k3, but failed to the rest with the old /console option.

just COPY MSTSC*.* FROM A 2003 SERVER if you want to retain session 0 functionality.. or RDESKTOP from a linux box or a mac.
works fine for me.

Thanks – I appreciate you finding this and documenting this so I can Google and find it. This works great with my XL SP3 and Windows Server 2003.
