Creating Remote Connections with the MSTSC Utility
The Microsoft Terminal Server Connection (MSTSC) utility provides remote connectivity using
the Remote Desktop feature introduced in Windows XP. The utility relies on a Remote Desktop
Connection (RDP) file to create the connection in most cases. You must have administrator privileges
to use this utility. This utility uses the following syntax:
mstsc.exe
{ConnectionFile
|
/v:server}
[/console]
[/f]
[/w:width /h:height]
[/public]
[/span]
mstsc.exe /edit???ConnectionFile???
mstsc.exe /migrate
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
ConnectionFile
Specifies the RDP file you want to use to create the connection.
/v:
server
Specifies the name of a remote computer. You can use this feature in place of an
RDP file when you don??™t have an RDP defined.
/console
Connects to the console session of the specified Windows 2000 server.
/f
Starts the Remote Desktop session in full-screen mode. Using this feature overcomes issues
that you might encounter displaying the remote computer??™s desktop in a window.
/w:
width
Specifies the width of the Remote Desktop window.
