Hey guys,

When I log in remotely what is the best way to know if I am for certain logged in under a console session?

I use this for the remote desktop target: %SystemRoot%\system32\mstsc.exe /admin

Just need to know a quick and easy way to know and confirm I am logged as as console

Thanks

Nice and easy. Right click the taskbat and choose task manager , then users. Your ID should be '0' which means 'Session 0'. Thats console.

use 'mstsc.exe /console' for your shortcut and then do the above to double check you are on the console session.

There is also a MMC type snapin for remote desktops that comes as part of one of the admin packs, prob the 2003 one, that has a tick box in the properties for attaching to the console.

edit: looking at it I don't think /admin is a valid switch, so you may have meant /console anyway?
