I would like to use the -console option to regain
access to an existing session on a windows 2003 machine.

Why doesn't Rdesktop support this feature? Or am I
overlooking it?

    With the "-0" option, rdesktop attaches you to session which
    displays on your physically-connected monitor. When you
    connect with -console, the physical display locks so that
    nobody can see what you're doing.

    As far as I remember, when I used this option on Windows
    2003, it did exactly what it should. Did you try it?

    On the performance tab I had to check "attach to console"

    now it works fine :)
