Accessing Terminal Services Client from Command line

[ddunlap]

We have a Win2000 server being accessed by a NT 4.0 workstations. I created client disks on the server and installed on the workstation. It works fine and creates the terminal window on the server as desired. The problem is that I want to connect programatically without the GUI. I cannot get it to run from the command line. All docs I have seen say mstsc.exe can be run from the command line with switches /v: (for server) /w: for width etc. None of them work! When I run mstsc /V:172.123.21.2 for example, I get the default connection dialog. Does anyone have a suggestion? I am at my wits end :{

Check the version of mstsc version 5.1 or better have these switches but version 5.00 does not (or at least they don't work).

As above I have just tried 5.1 and it works.

mstsc /v: ip address
