add /console to the end of your shortcut for remote desktop connection

Start -> Run -> mstsc /console

 

 

 

 

 

That's what I run.

Sorry to bump this, but i still cant see my consoles when i remote desktop to my windows box.

 

a friend who runs tc admin on the same OS, same cpu and some motherboard ect gave me access to his box and i could see all his consoles. So i don't understand why i cant see mine. its really anoying because i cant see console errors ect.

 

im wiling to give a TCAdmin administrator access to my server and cp.

 

can you guys help?

Does XP even support console mode?

 

I thought it was only 2003 server that had console, unless you are using a third party tool like VNC.

i used normal remote desktop on my friends xp box, and it worked fine. saw all his consoles.

 

VNC wont work on my box, as soon as i login by it the thing closes.

Well here is an easy way to check your console.

 

1. Login to the server itself.

2. Open your browser and login to your panel.

3. Go to the service that is having an issue and click "service settings"

4. On the right hand side of the page look for the preview button and click it.

5. The full commandline for the game is displayed at the top of the page.

6. Clikc START>RUN and copy the full commandline into the space, ,and hit enter.

 

This will start the game righ on the desktop so you can see what is wrong.

 

Just make sure that you shut down the game inn the panel before doing this, so it isn't running twice.

It comes up when i do that, but again, that doesnt solve the problem as this cant be controlled by tcadmin

That is simply running the same files that TCAdmin would start. There is no difference. That is exactly what the TCAdmin service uses to start the game.

 

I would check your server logs to see if there isn't an error happening somewhere with the service.

[USBz0r]

it does it on all my servers, and on all my boxes. none of the consoles work.

That cause XP doesn't have a server console mode like win2k3 does I don't believe. You will need to use a third party program such as VNC or RADmin.

still doesnt explain why my friends xo box shows console and it never worked in my win2k box either.
