Hi Guys... This article will teach you how we can check the remote login sessions & how we can
kill those sessions & also how we can view the remote processes &
how we can kill those... this article will help you to use CLI when some times GUI is not responding.
To view who and all users are connected to the system here i have given for local system
C:\Users\reddy>quser
USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME
reddyjg console 1 Active none 4/19/2011 2:16 PM
If we want to check the remote system users
C:>quser /server:REMOTEServername
USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME
if you want the help syntax you can check the help
quser /?
Here i have given one more command which will be usefull for the same work as above command does. QWinsta is different and better. It has more features and options.
C:>qwinsta /?

/SERVER:servername Specifies the Remote Desktop server containing the user
session to log off (default is current).
/V Displays information about the actions performed.
/VM Logs off a session on server or within virtual machine. Th
e unique ID of the session needs to be specified.

There is one more command which will do the same task to logoff a session remotely as logoff command does... RWinsta has same parameters and does same thing as log off command. It simply means Reset Windows Station. The help goes as,
C:\Users\reddy>rwinsta /?
RESET SESSION {sessionname

sessionname Identifies the session with name sessionname.
sessionid Identifies the session with ID sessionid.
/SERVER:servername The server containing the session (default is current).
/V Display additional information.

kill those sessions & also how we can view the remote processes &
