mstsc /admin for Microsofts RDP for Mac OS X

Question

How do I access the reserved admin session using Microsofts RDP client on my Mac? The equivalent to mstsc /admin on the Windows client.

Solution

I don't have my Mac in front of me however in a version prior to 2.1.0, there is an tick box option on the Remote Client Connection setup for an admin connection. It is labelled connect as Administrator if I remember correctly.

For version 2.1.0 and greater, see Christian Muggli's article Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Console or Admin Session shows how you can put the /console or /admin directly at the end of server name of the RDC client (Mac or Windows).

Official confirmation on how to do this is via this Microsoft Help Article: How to connect to the Server Console

His question is not what to use but how to use it.

Yeh sorry; just noticed that one; was editing it to actually add in the instructions to connect to the console.

Can't finde the checkbox, this is the software I'm using: microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx

Unfortunatly I can only confirm this when I get home, but I do recall it's an option somewhere in the settings screens. I don't have access to a Mac at work but use it regurlarly. Either way the second solution I provide is to official Microsoft method of connecting using the RDC client. However you need to ensure your running the latest version.

This answer doesn't quite make sense. Can you edit it to clarify how it resolves the original question?
