MS Server 2003 : Getting an RDP session

To use the command line hacks, you might need to run them from another server if your local operating system doesn't include the commands. You will also need to make sure that you are logged onto that server with an administrative account. The easiest way to do that is just map a drive (you don't have to use a drive letter unless you choose to)

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

Here's a command line hack that you can use to figure out what
sessions are connected to the server. Note that you could substitute
the IP address for the server name.

query session /server:servername

Now we know that the session ID of the offending session is 2. We can
use that in the next step, which is using the reset command to log off
that user.

reset session [ID] /server:servername
