So how frustrating is it when you need to Terminal Service (Remote Desktop) to a box, and all of the sessions are in use? It sucks. Especially when you know someone did not logout correctly, or they are gone, and that precious connection is idle.

A co-worker showed me this cool trick, it allows you to instantiate a 'console' connection, regardless of how many people are connected.

Open a command prompt and type the following:

c:\> mstsc /v:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /console

Where /v: parameter is the address or name of the server. The /console switch will create a console session, and allow you to connect, even if the active sessions are full. You can then do whatever you need to do, or boot off the offending user(s).
