Nice, I’d wondered about that, but I usually just connect to the console session and starting logging people off … mstsc /admin (or /console depending on the version)

But what if youre logged in as a user/admin in a different domain?
I mean: I’m logging in on my notebook as Erwin@BlaBla.com and i want to log-off users on Server01.Hubba.lan? remotely…

@Hein: It must not have too clear to you. These commands, when typed at a workstation, tell you who’s logged on to a Remote Server and allows you to log them off — Remotely.

Excellent explaination, the only problem that i have found is that quser has been removed from XP Pro SP2

Hello, thanks for your clear explanation. But…This only helps when you have physical access to the target machine. What about if this is too far away? so my question: can we also logoff sessions without a physical presence on the target machine (the reason why you use rdp in the first place..)

thanks, Hein

This works great! You don’t need /server if you run it on the local machine. Here’s what I got. Hopefully the formatting will come out OK:

C:\>qwinsta
SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
console 0 Conn wdcon
rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd
administrator 1 Disc rdpwd
>rdp-tcp#3 Administrator 2 Active rdpwd

C:\> logoff 1
