Remote Desktop Mobile /console?

With the Windows version of Remote Desktop you can use the CLI switch '/console' to take control of the current console session of the server you are Remote Desktop'ing into as long as its 2003 Server or later. Is this possible with the Remote Desktop Mobile client?
With the Windows version you just start it with 'Start, Run, mstsc.exe /console' and this attempts to connect to the current console session.

to my knowledge, not possible - at least I haven't managed to do it . Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506
note that if you don't strictly need RDP, some other, proprietary clients do offer console-like features - also see the above article for more info
This is an old topic, but one of the first Google search results for 'Remote Desktop Mobile connect to console'. I've been fiddling with this for the past few days and wanted to share my experience. I say experience because I haven't reallydone anything to achieve a /console connection with RDP mobile.
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Pro and using the standard RDP client it ships with. I am connecting to my home PC, which is running Win7x64 Ultimate. If I choose to log in as a currently logged in user and provide the proper credentials, I am connected to the existing session without any hassle.
I don't know if this is a new feature of terminal services/remote desktop on Win7, or a designed advantage of the mobile RDP client.
If you need to connect to a server console session specifically, take a look at this link on how to configure your server in advance to facilitate this:
EDIT: I'd post a link, but apparently my account is too new to do so. Oh well.

WM6 Remote Desktop Server over internet?

I'm looking for a remote desktop program that will allow remote login to a wm6 phone ie running a remote desktop server on the phone (not client). Basically I have 2 - wm 6 phones and I'd like to be be able to control one of them remotely either via my main phone or pc over the internet. I'll keep searching, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated. I have read multiple articales about a Real VNC solution but their website yields nothing.
Thanks
This flavour of RealVNC works fine for me...

Yes what client do you use with that? Also how has it been working for you? Reliable, fast etc? Looks like very limited support and documentation for that project. I actually didn't realize the CE software can run on WM.
Ok so I figured it out (I feel kinda dumb asking what client to use). So I downloaded the real vnc viewer and got it working. The only thing I'd really like to do now is get some sort of dyndns type service going on the phone as restarting it changes the ip everytime.

Best way to remote desktop

Just started looking into this, but what's the best way to remote desktop on android? I did it with my iPod and iPhone but since I'm sticking with my Nexus S I was looking for a better solution. Ideas?
there are VNC clients, and RPD clients for windows
i use them all the time to connect back to work servers, and home PCs
LogMeIn is what I use.
Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client is far and away the best one I've found on Android. It uses the RDP built into Windows, so you don't have to install anything on your PC.

I came here to say this exact same thing. Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client reigns supreme. I cannot live without it and is one of the main reasons why I can't leave Android. Using the screen as a touchpad is the best thing ever. You can zoom in and out, use multiple resolutions, etc.
If and when you decide on a remote desktop app. If you want to have a more secure system, you can use connectbot to tunnel your remote desktop connections through. if you have a ssh server, or a router w/ 3-rd party firmware at home.
