I was wondering if it possible to initiate a RDP session in windows that is purely on the command line, that is, login, passwords, directory traversal etc. If not, is there any open source project that allows so? I do not need the GUI version of RDP.

You could use SSH for administration. That's what i usually do: Install Cygwin with a ssh service.

There are (or at least once were) security issues with Cygwin on multi-user machines. Care may be needed. – Harry Johnston Sep 29 '11 at 22:21
One alternative is psexec (available from Microsoft). – Harry Johnston Sep 29 '11 at 22:21
