This is a command-prompt instruction for MSWindows. It connects an admin console session to a remote server, using Microsoft Remote Desktop. Run the command prompt as administrator, too. In the credentials dialog, provide credentials for the server's local administrator. Use this to get into specifically unwilling remote Windows servers, such as ones that have lost their connection to a licensing server.
