>Finally! I've been trying to find this for years. For an application that I develop and manage, I need to have console access to the server to run the app. I've been using PCAnywhere and VNC which work perfectly well, but was starting to get push back from corporate system admins who didn't want to open the VNC and PCAnywhere ports. As of today, one of the admins simply refused to open any port except 3389 (remote desktop). Googling I manage to find a switch for remote desktop that forces the session to be a console session instead of a virtual session. The command line is mstsc /console

Interesting. I can't hit that website dude to my evil system admin has it blocked for some reason. I'd like to check into it though because that sounds pretty nifty.

Another option you have is to simply change the ports PCA uses to 3389.
