What does the following command do?

mstsc -v:101.102.103.104 /F -console

Does it bring up the server's console or opens a new session?

thanks,

Well if you had googled mstsc as I did, you would have found that the console switch "Connects to the console session of the specified Windows Server 2003 family operating system". It was the third link on the first google page!

Hey Tara,

In fact it's a while that I am using the command but a colleague made me confuse that is it the real server's console or it is a new Windows session? Do you think it brings up the console?

Also, another friend suggested me not to use the command because it may flare up other issues if server is already crunched for resources. Do you agree?

I've never used that command, so I can't help with the details of it. I for one don't need to get to the console. What do you need on the console that you can't do through a normal TS session or from tools?
