Retrospect via RDC: "mstsc /console" is now "mstsc /admin" in RDC Client 6.1


Recommended Posts

***This is for those of you administering Retrospect through terminal services***

 

The latest update to RDC Client (6.1 as of this posting) deprecated the /console switch when calling it via "mstsc" on the command line. This has been changed to /admin.

 

So, in plain speak, if you have updated to version 6.1 (or higher) of the RDC Client, instead of running:

 

mstsc /console

 

you would now run:

 

mstsc /admin

 

Hopefully this prevents some of you from losing several hours of lost productivity from a seemingly unrelated software upgrade.

I am confused. Was this a Retrospect question?

 

If you're trying to run Retrospect through a Remote Desktop Connection client, have version 6.1 or higher of the RDC client, the /console switch no longer works, does not provide an error, and will not allow you to use Retrospect. If you change "mstsc /console" to "mstsc /admin", then you will be able to continue using Retrospect through RDC as before.
