STiMPY Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeSuKuN Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 IIRC save your config in a .rdp file that launches the RDP client when opening it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STiMPY Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 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.

STiMPY Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Not to worry. I've sorted it with the help of this thread 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
