Can I start a console session from a XP SP3 or Vista SP1 client like in Vista without sp and xp sp2?

With old rdp client versions up to 6 you were able to connect to console sessions of your terminal server by using mstsc /console” command.

In XP SP3 and vista SP1 there is no any more that switch, and now you have to use the /admin switch.

To me seems meaningless but on the internet they claim this is a reason because of an architectural change in Windows Server 2008. Session 0 is not interactive session, it is only used for services, and this way /console session is not different from any other session that is connected to windows 2008 terminal services.

The /admin switch is now used to access only session which is free of Terminal Services CALs.
