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.
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.
I have a presentation coming up (few days) and I have a presentation that I made in Beamer which makes a pdf. I'm looking for an android app to work with my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant that will let me control Adobe.
I've tried Gmote and it works wonderfully while connected to a network. Unfortunately the room that I'll be in will have no network access of any kind and so Gmote won't work.
I've tried to get the adhoc network to work with android, I got it to the stage where I could see the network and try to connect but it could not obtain an address.
Anyhow, any app that can control a pdf remotely, bluetooth would be great.
Unified Remote lets you controle a PC/Presentation/WMP and a lot of other stuff via WiFi.
I checked out unified remote as well, sort of the same problem as Gmote. I also did not see any way to control a pdf presentation with it.
I thought I would post my solution since I couldn't find a good answer for quite a while.
What I did was used connectify to make my laptop a wireless hotspot and connected to that with my phone. It makes a mobile AP so you don't have to mess around with the adhoc network stuff and it made me a mini LAN so that Gmote worked.
All in all pretty easy once I found it.

Nice workaround! :good:
But too complicated for normal, non-geek users.
So we decided to build a seamless, super easy to use solution to setup and control your presentations using your smarpthone.
It supports all major presentation formats, including pdfs.

Hi,
Just started using a HTC Trophy but I cannot for the life of me find an RDP client in the marketplace or on the phone.
Surely its there somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

"PC Connector" seems to do this.
There will be more as apps finish going through the curation process.
That is what i worry, i cannot find remote desktop on the telco set...
so confirm the PC Connector is going to work like remote desktop???
PC Connector is a pay software? come with the box? or market place DL?

It will be hard to find one of these because Microsoft doesn't allow full networking access. Unless someone writes a remote desktop app that runs over web services (weird but probably possible), or Microsoft opens low-level APIs, then there won't be one. In either case it might take time.

It's in the Marketplace... $4.99, but has a free trial.
I installed the free trial but it seems RDP is not one of its features.
Just found this - choung . net / charlie (cant post urls yet)[/url] - which kinda offers remote apps over http, works well and will do for the mean time.
Hopefully see some official RDP support soon...

so this is from MS? or 3rd party? sorry, i don't have the phone right now so i cannot try.
but looks like it is for file download, Remote Desktop Client?
Live Mesh
Someone who has a windows phone (not me) should look into Windows Live Mesh. On the desktop, it allows remote connections to a computer that has it installed. On the website for Live Mesh, there's a picture of a little phone. Of course, it might be referring to just syncing files, but perhaps doing a remote desktop via Live Mesh on the phone is going to be possible?
I certainly hope that someone develops this; however I spoke with one of the develpers on the team at Microsoft and he confirmed that Microsoft has no plans to ship a RDP client.
Without socket support it's going to be a pain. You would have to pass everything through a http proxy. The Remote Desktop app on the market place does something like that with VNC. Hopefully the next WP7 update will bring official socket support.
Sorry...no. You can use the remote desktop function to get to PCs but not the phone.
Can someone clear this up, are we getting a RDC remote destop connection app for WP7 ???
No, it is currently not possible to create an App for Remote Desktop Connections in Windows Phone 7 as one would need the ability to access the Socket-APIs.
This might become available in future versions of the development tools.
What is a possible is to have a server somewhere that translates from the HTTP-Requests of the Phone to the RDP protocol acting as an intermediary. As far as I know there currently is no App that does this.
A homebrew software using a jailbroken phone should be possible as they have access to socket-communication.
just search remote desktop in marketplace, then you will find tada, a remote desktop client.
and its called *suprising* remote desktop. how hard can it be
I have it up and running, only it's a trial. software costs 15pounds

Thats a VNC client, not a remote desktop (RDP) client.
Can't you just use a web based remote desktop client using explorer on the phone? Like free version of logmein.com or paid app gotomypc.com
I haven't tried it yet but I am sure it works might be a pain to maneuver around but I am sure there is a version somewhere that fits a smart phone screen size...
At least it's something to use until the second update in February rumored to release socket support maybe don't quote me on it.
the fastmarket remote desktop.
The problem: I use Real VNC from server side with password encryption - always on.
This app does not offer any encryption. Hope this will change.
If you are running non-free version of RealVNC, please make sure encryption is turned off.

I asked on Microsoft's social site for Live Mesh and they said they (paraphrasing a quote) "Would consider looking into possibly maybe supporting Windows Phone 7 in the future". Translation "Dude, youre a genius! Lemme check."
Doesn't sound like it's on the horizon.

Logmein free and logmeinrescue do not work as they require activeX controls or something (sorry I'm not a dev so that may not be the correct term...Im a XDA troll.) I have tried...
Can't wait for Sync/Mesh but I seem to have jettisoned RDP for logemin services and that would be awesome to have working on the phone.
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.
