How to kill Remote Sessions Remotely

You'll need a Windows console running as an appropriate user, this can be dealt with using a quick runas command:

runas /noprofile /user:domainname\userid cmd

pause

In the console you can then use qwinsta to query for a server's connections, for example:

C:\WINNT\system32>qwinsta /server:someServerHost0290

SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE

console 0 Conn wdcon

rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd

rdp-tcp#59 userid2 2 Active rdpwd

userid1 1 Active rdpwd




Guessing that Session 1 is up for a quick death you can then use the rwinsta command to kill the connection:

C:\WINNT\system32>rwinsta /server:someServerHost0290 1




Done.
