Start Microsoft Remote Desktop Session from command line on mac

You need to have at least 8.0.6 installed.

Start a command prompt

open "rdp://full address=s:10.10.10.10:3389&screen mode id=i:1&Desktopheight=i:1024&Desktopwidth=i:1280"

I am still trying to workout how to pass a username with a domain, when I put in &username=s:localhost\administrator it appears in the login box as

localhost%5Cadministrator

For a full list of commands that should work see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690096.aspx
