Remote access to the server’s console

What does the following command do? mstsc -v:101.102.103.104 /F -console Does it bring up the server’s console or opens a new session? thanks,

Until unless it is a requirement, do not use MSTSC on a SQL server as it may flare up other issues if server is already crunched for resources. Satya SKJ

Thanks Satya, I mostly use it to run the Outlook on my server’s console. And it is usually after business hours. Do you think it impacts the server more than Remote Desktop Connection utility?

It’s the same thing. mstsc is the executable for a remote desktop connection. It would make more sense to configure SQL Agent mail than to manually launch Outlook…

"configure SQL Agent mail"? But it has been configured already. I need to have Outlook running on the server to make it possible that SQL Agent mail can send emails. This is a question that I had long time ago and I got many replies.
