No. The &quot;console&quot; session went away with 2008/Vista and is simply not available in the architecture anymore.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to be able to limit the remote desktop login on Server 2012 to /admin mode only. &nbsp;Basically I have an app that needs to be running all the time and when installing it as a service it doesn't run correctly. &nbsp;Unfortunately until their company comes up with a major upgrade (supposed to be coming) this is what I need to do. &nbsp;I completely understand that it is NOT best practice but I'm stuck. &nbsp;As it is I keep the server logged in and just disconnect my remote desktop session. &nbsp;This is really the only software running on this server (I had an extra license and just used it in a vm).<br />
<br />
I will typically be the only one accessing this server. &nbsp;I just want to always access it on the same session even if accessing via remote desktop through RWA (server 2012R2 Essentials). &nbsp;Is there a group policy that will limit this??<br />

Log in to Server 2012 VM as /admin (console) only

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
