Useful Commands for Remote Server

Sometimes you have urgency to access the server but server’s logging capacity is over. It means once any existing session log off, new user can enter.

1. To know how many session’s are active in the remote server.
  c:/> qwinsta /server:<<Server Name / IP address>>

Once you know the session, kill the session or logoff the remote computer.

using following command, we can kill the session

c:/> rwinsta {sessionname | sessionid} /SERVER:servername

using following command, we can logoff the remote machine.

C:\>logoff /server:<<ServerName>> 1 /v
Logging off session ID 1

2. Forcefully logging into the remote computer
   c:/> mstsc -v:<<ServerName>> /F –console

3.  Check for a list of running sessions by typing the following only on the server. we can call this Query where the Terminal services are available ;
  c:/> QUERY USER /SERVER:servername

4. This will list all current session on that server. Record the session ID for the session you want to kill.  Then
  c:/> RESET SESSION sessionID /SERVER:servername
