Oh.. That thid connection.

First off, you must have a locally logged on session already If no one
logged in locally, the console session doesn't exist. I could be wrong on
that one - I'll let the guru's of this group correct me if I am.

Secondly, start mstsc with the /console switch. That's all.

You can still logon even with no one logged in... I do this with our
servers at the office. We always logon to the console session...
