Hi erveryone,

how can I log of the users remote?
with the terminal service manager I can't reach the server
because it is not in a domain. I can also not reboot the
machine because it is a live system.
I must find a way to log one user of, so that I can reach
the server again per terminal services.

Thanks for the answers in advance
Stefan

Check out KB article 321705: HOW TO: Disconnect a Session by Using the
TSDISCON Command in Windows

The following steps should allow you to log in:
1. Determine the session ID of the user, use the "query session"
as outlined in the article
(create a batch file with the command, and use the "At"
command to schedule it on the server. Direct the output to a text file)
2. Use the TSDISCON command to disconnect the session
(it needs to be run on the server, you can possibly get
around this by running it in a batch file, and using the "At" command to
schedule it on the server
Then, provided that you have the RDP-TCP properties set to end disconnected
sessions, you should have a free session soon
(or, you could reconnect to the users session if you have their credential
information)

Let me know if this does not suit your needs, or if you have any further
questions

You can also use the command rwinsta to directly end a session. Also you can
specify IP address if the server name can't be resolved for some reason. An
example would be:

To list all sessions on server 1.2.3.4
qwinsta /SERVER:1.2.3.4

To end a session:
rwinsta /SERVER:1.2.3.4 <session id>

I like your way better :-)
I wasn't aware of that command, thanks
