Kill Disconnected Terminal Services Sessions Remotely
Terminal Services Remote Administration mode is a great tool for gaining access to servers at remote sites. It allows for a maximum of two sessions to allows administrators to connect and perform their duties. By default broken connections are set to go into a disconnected state rather than resetting. This allows system updates, patches or other tasks being performed on the server to continue even if the remote session gets interrupted.
This is all well and good, however, there are times when the maximum number of sessions is reached and the terminal server will not allow you to connect anymore. This can be frustrating when the server you are trying to access is across town or in another city.
There is a solution to this dilemma. From a command-line it is possible to get a list of sessions on any server in your network with the “qwinsta” command. The “rwinsta” command will then allow you to reset a session as well.
The command to list all sessions:
qwinsa /SERVER:servername
The command to reset a session:
rwinsta {sessionname | sessionid} /SERVER:servername
Just pick either the sessionname or sessionid of the session you want to reset and replace the brackets above.
Use the qwinsta command to verify that the session was reset. You can now reconnect with your RDP client.
