tip

• This setting allows only one remote connection, known as session 0. This connection can be made only through the console.
• When you connect to the console session of a terminal server on a Windows XP-based computer or on a Windows Server 2003-based computer, use the mstsc.exe /console command.
• If you use the Remote Desktop Connection 6.1 client or a later version of the client, use the mstsc.exe /admin command.
