I just use "shadow 0" to get console status. However, I had to set a GPO for the servers to allow it.

Again, I do not know if person's RDP connections are failing completely, or he simply cannot get to the "Console" session. However, on those of us who still use XP, beginning with SP3, the "/console" switch does not get one into the "Console" session. For up through Win 2003 R2, "mstsc /admin" does get me into the console session (no opportunity to play with RDP connections to Win 2008 systems yet).
