Locked out of terminal services?
By default terminal services allows two remote users at a time. If those accounts get hung up or are tied up by unknown users there is an additional account. You can access it by clicking Start -> run and typing the following…
1 | mstsc -v:SERVERADDRESS /f -console |
Where SERVERADDRESS is either the name or IP address of the remote server.
Be forewarned! It is a good practice to use this only when you need it to logout hung/dead sessions. Because if this session hangs too you will need physical access to the box to clear it up. And like it says this is the “console” login. Think of it as the login you would be using if you were physically sitting at the server. Of course, if someone is already logged in at the server you won’t be able to use this way in. But hopefully you can just call them and get them to kick out the dead sessions.
