RDP to Console change with SP3

The ability to RDP to a servers console is great, it stops you getting locked out of a server when you leave too many sessions open! For some reason MS have decided to change the command in RDP 6.1, which is included in XP sp3. So after much confusion as to why it kept telling me there were too many sessions, i discovered that the /console switch, has now changed to /admin. So the command is now

mstsc /v:serverIP /admin
