RDP to /Console After Vista SP1

Having trouble making that connection to the console session via RDP? If you have applied SP1 to your Windows Vista installation the switch has changed! Instead of "mstsc /console" it is now "mstsc /admin." Go figure. Personally, I would just add a "console" checkbox as one of the options in the expanded connect configuration on the client. Why do you have to go and be all mysterious Microsoft?

This is also true for XP SP3 as well.

I agree MS developers are a bunch of duechebags. This crap has to stop. This might just force me to use some dumbass 3rd party RDP client.
