Catch my Point

I have a windows 2000 server farm and many a times I forget to clean up my orphan terminal sessions and they get maxed up. Scott Forsyth has a great blog entry about cleaning orphaned rdc sessions qwinsta /server:12.12.12.12 Where 12.12.12.12 is the IP address or name of the non-accessible machine. This will display something like this: > qwinsta /server:12.12.12.12 SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE console 0 Conn wdcon rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd rdp-tcp#470 Bob 1 Active rdpwd rdp-tcp#471 Jane 3 Active rdpwd Now I know that Bob and Jane are the two that are logged in. Since Jane left the office 20 minutes ago I know that she forgot to log off. I don't know where Bob is but I only need one session so I'll ignore him for now. To disconnect Jane's session I would type this: rwinsta /server:12.12.12.12 3 Notice the 3 which is the session ID I found from using qwinsta above.
