What exactly is the difference between using
mstsc
mstsc /admin
mstsc /console
mstsc /admin /console
all answers appreciated – in particular if any of these can effect the user being logged out after inactivity.
Previous to terminal service 6.1 you accessed the “console session” of a remote machine by “mstsc /console”. After 6.0(6.1 and later) the flag was changed to using “mstsc /admin”
When you use “mstsc /admin /console” the /console is ignored. Similarly if you specified your host with “mstsc /v:servername /console” the /console would be ignored without giving you any warning.
I believe either one should have the same inactivity timers but I haven’t confirmed that anywhere.
