Difference between 'mstsc IP' & 'mstsc IP /console' cmds in RDP

'mstsc /console' cmd brings the physical console of the windows server's desktop by closing remote session if it is viewed by any other users, means u can get the server's desktop by logout the server's session.

'mstsc' brings new session of the server's desktop without dist rubbing the physical console of the RDP server, means through this cmd we can get the another session, like wise we can get as many sessions of RDP server(restricted by RDP server terminal license)

NOTE: Connecting to windows XP professional RDP server using 'mstsc' or 'mstsc /console' is same, because of win XP pro allows only one session at a time. So both cmds behavior is same.

Possible options for mstsc cmd are :
cmd is mstsc option
Options :
/v:[server[:port]] : The remote computer to connect to
/console : Connect to the console of a server (NT/XP)
/Admin : Connect to a session for administering the server(Vista/2008)
/f : Start in Full Screen mode
/w:width : Width of the RDP screen
/h:height: Height of the RDP screen
/span : Match the Remote Desktop width and height with the local virtual desktop, spanning across multiple monitors if necessary.(Vista/2008).
/public : Run Remote Desktop in public mode. (Vista/2008) In public mode, passwords and bitmaps are not cached.
/edit [ConnectionFile] : Open the RDP file for editing.ConnectionFile is the name of an RDP file for connection.
/migrate: Convert a legacy Client connection file into an .RDP file.

Note : The /console option only works when connecting to an Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003 computer.
