When a user establishes a Remote Desktop connection to the server this connection will remain active until the user selects "Log Off" from the Start Menu. As such, if a user simply closes the remote desktop window when they're finished with the server, that username will remain logged on.
Remote Desktop connection will only allow TWO simultaneous administrative sessions.
To disconnect the sessions;
- click Start->Run
- type incmd (return)
- In the CMD window typemstsc /v:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /admin
- Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your server's IP Address.
- Click OK to save the change.
- Now type in the IP of your server and you should be able to login via the Console as Administrator.
- Right click on your task bar and select 'Task Manager' from the list.
- When the 'Task Manager' window comes up, select the 'Users' tab.
- In this window, you will see all of the users currently connected to the server. Select a disconnected user, and then click the 'Log off' button at the bottom to clear it.
- Log Off properly (Start>>Log Off) and re-connect as normal using your Remote Desktop Connection.
- Warning : Please use this method only to properly terminate the other two active sessions, then log back in using the Remote Desktop.
