Did you enable Remote Desktop on the servers?

Subject: Console Logon via RDP

I have a specfic need to connect to a server via RDP but connect to it on the 
console session. I Googled for it and came up with the switches that should 
allow this

I tried both mstsc.exe /console to a Win 2003 server and mstsc.exe /admin to a 
Win 2008 server from my Win7 Ultimate machine and in neither case does it 
attach me to the console.

Does this work and if so what am I missing?
