As Thor said, "Exactly how were they disabled?", how the admin configure
the system to block access to cmd.exe? By configuring an RDP file to use
a specific shell?

If the admin said he's *actually trying* to block user's access to
cmd.exe (or whatever file you can access), then whatever he's using now
is not effective. The bug then is in the admin way of thinking, not on RDP.
