Problems with Console /admin switch
I'm running XP Pro (SP3) with the latest version of RDM (5.9.0.0) and the latest version of RDP (MS Calls it 7, but it shows up as 6.1.7600.16385).
I have the "File | Options | Session Type | use old Remote Desktop Console...." unchecked to use /admin.
I have a session set-up to "Open in Console (Admin mode....".
When I launch the session as Embeded or Full Screen, I do not connect as console.
When I launch the session as External, it opens as console the same as when I run "mstsc /admin" .
I was running RDM version 5.8.something earlier today when I noticed the problem. I upgraded to 5.9.0.0 but the problem still exists.
I searched the forum and found a few older posts on this topic, but none of the things suggested there seem to work.
Thanks,
Rob.

Hi,
Just to be sure I understand, you try to connect in admin mode embedded and it does not works ?

That's right.
Hi,
I will release a new beta later tonight, can you give it a try. The version number will be 5.9.0.15

Hi David,
I tested with the new beta and I'm still having the same problem. Embeded and FullScreen sessions cannot open in Console / Admin mode. Launching as External (Open Session (External)) will open a console session.
I'm working around this by always using External sessions when I need a console connection.
Thanks,
Rob
I really don't understand, I set all the required flag but it does not seems to want to open in console / admin mode. Can you try todo the same thing with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager. We use the same ActiveX.

I found the problem. I had the following setting checked and when I unchecked it the Embedded console mode works. "File | Options | Advanced | Force RDP 6.0". I don't know how it got checked, but with it unchecked I can now connect to console sessions using embedded mode.
Thanks
Rob
Thank you very much for letting me know the solution. I appreciate, it might help some people
