RDP information

Do you ever get that message when you are RDP'ing to a client that it has too many open connections and you don't know what to do... well, here is a treat for you.

At the windows command line enter:

qwinsta /server:SERVERNAME

Will list all of the sessions, choose one that you can delete and then:

rwinsta /server:SERVERNAME ID_NUMBER

That'll get rid of the pesky session and let you log in - ripper!

remember to RDP to the console of a machine with the /console option after the machine name, that way you can share it with everyone (if you log in with the same user).

This is great. One other way is Just go to the server from any other server's terminal services manager and disconnect. But this one is short and sweet.
