How to RDC in console mode, in Leopard

Microsoft has published second beta of the Remote Desktop Connection 2, for Mac. There is not an obvious GUI option to set that you want to login in console mode. Previous hints related to RDC 1 are not applicable - saved .rdp files are now .plist files.

The solution is quite simple though:

RDC login dialog, with /console option added

Add /console after the name and you’re good to go.
