Have a look at RWINSTA and QWINSTA, one resets, the other queries.

 

Umm that will shutdown or reboot the server, not log off a user, rwinsta should be all he needs.

 

From another server, open up the run dialog and type 'tsadmin'. When the TS Manager pops up, under 'Actions', click 'Connect to computer', type in the name of the computer you want to reset a TS session on, wait for it to enumerate the session then log off the session you want in the 'Users' pane.

 

i like the avatar and sig zebulebu. that looks strangely like kobems................................ lol

 

great information

really thanks

ok what about tools

in my way to study 70-290 exam

compmgmt.msc is used also to make other users log off

but how ?

 

Go into the compmgmt console
connect to remote computer
Expand system tools
Exapnad shared folders
Click sessions
right click the user
click close session

This will not log off a local user rather ones running a terminal session

 

thanks kevicho

for your help

 

Don't start.

 

You do realise that RWINSTA and QWINSTA are part of the OS and run from the command line, all it takes is about 30 seconds to query and remove remote users?

 

I think for exam purposes knowing the MMC way to get to things is MS's preferred "brownie points" way, but thanks for these commands, not had to boot anyone off a terminal server in months, will definitely be having a look at using these commands in some sort of vbscript so our techies can do this in future ;)

 

To query who's logged onto the server run this command at an Administrative Command Prompt:

query session /server:<server name>

Once you know the session ID you can reset it by running this command:

reset session <session id> /server:<server name>

But like other people have said, if it's for exam purposes you'll be expected to know how to reset the session using the Computer Management console.

what about

logoff.exe

 

Also have a look at PSTOOLS, in particular PSEXEC, useful for executing commands on remote machines
