While I’m working in a project that needs to log in into a server I usually leave my user session opened (yes I know that it s not a good practice, but I always forget to log off).
So when an admin needs to connect to the server there are either no free sessions or probably the openend sessions are consuming resources that could be slowing down the server.
So as a power user, I discovered the following command to execute in PowerShell (remember to execute it as administrator) to try to list and free the unused sessions:
If you only want to see the sessions, you can execute only this:
query user | select -Skip 1 | ? {($_ -split “\s+”)[-4] -eq ‘Disc’}
To disconnect all these sessions at once, you can execute this command inside an elevated PowerShell window:
query user | select -Skip 1 | ? {($_ -split “\s+”)[-4] -eq ‘Disc’} | % {logoff ($_ -split “\s+”)[-5] /v}
And then all disconnected RDP sessions are forced logoff and the resources are free.
Till next time!
