Logon to the Console to use Intel PROSet software in Device Manager

TIP: To use the Intel PROSet software for an Intel Networking Adapter (NIC), logon to the console of the machine. If you're logging in via Remote Desktop (aka Terminal Services), pass the /console option to mstsc.exe to logon to the console session.

If you logon to a regular (non-console) Remote Desktop session, and go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Intel(R) PRO/xxxx Network connection, it will display the following:

If instead you pass /console to mstsc.exe when logging in via Remote Desktop, you'll connect to the special console session and the Intel PROSet software will be available:

This seems a lot easier and safer than this other solution.
