Ubuntu – mstsc /v /admin command in Remmina or similar rdp client in ubuntu

mstscrdpUbuntu

Sometimes we have to use this below command to use rdp to our old server 2003 domain.

mstsc /v:servername /admin

I have ubuntu desktop with Remmina and i can use normal RDP login for most of the time using Remmina gui.. but when i need to disable Remote Desktop Services client access licensing and force login, I use above command.

I'm not sure Remmina can do the same or do I have to use a different client or this is impossible. Just wish to take advice, please help.
I've tried googling and found this, but not found exact thing what i look for.

Often Im seeing below message, while trying to login to server 2003 ..

Then as its already suggested, by roaima , What i do is to use "Attach to console" in the Advanced tab

Above option should be equal to below windows command

mstsc -v:servername /F -console

Attach to console" in the Advanced tab achieves much more similar to this switch /admin as well.... (Actually /console switch has been replaced by /admin switch in later operating systems such as windows 7 , Server 2008 and Vista etc )

MSTSC /console is now MSTSC /admin

if you type mstsc /? in server 2003 command prompt you will see
