Terminal Server Exceeded Connections

Since I do most of my work remotely, I use the Remote Desktop feature of Windows often. I have at least 10 different machines and often time people are using the same machines and forget to log out. What results is the common message: “The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections”. The work around for this is pretty simple.

Open a command prompt as the domain administrator that the remote machine is set to

net use /user:[username] \\servername\share

Next query the current sessions for the remote machine.

query session /server:servername

Now with the information, you can use the reset command to log off that user with the command below.

reset session [ID] /server:servername

This will reset the session and now you can log in again.
