I'd like to use the RDC from my OSX machine to control a Windows machine. My question is how do I add command line switches to it? On my Windows machine I simply add the following to the Target properties of the shortcut:

 

%SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe /console /v:<servername> /f

 

This lets me connect directly to the console session of the machine rather than starting a new login. How do I do this on OSX?

There's no RDP file. I'm send a direct command to the mstsc file to connect directly to the console session. Using an RDP file will start a new login. Using the command I mentioned is the only way to do it, and it's the way Microsoft give for doing it.

Not to worry. I've sorted it with the help of this thread :D Thanks for trying to help NeSuKuN, you where sort of right. I needed to create an RDP file and then edit it with a text editor to add the necessary console session connection.

 

EDIT: I've noticed something which made me laugh. The RDP client is actually faster running on my Mac than my Windows machine :D
