Remote desktop “console” with autologon

I use Remote desktops to terminal into our Windows 2003 Servers, I have these server automatically rebooting on a schedule and automatically logining themselves in in order to run some applications that cannot run a s services.
The problem I have run into is when using Remote Desop from Windows XP or Remote Desktops for theresource kit I connect to a new Terminal session even though i have chosen to “connect to console”. When I disable the autologon features (registry edit). I then can connect to the console fine. Cureently my only way around this is to view the console session via HP RIM (remote managment) card we use for emergency reboots.

Has anyone else come across this issue?
