Server full, or a session handing .. you know it’s a pain. But how to remotly get you a free session?

First check the sessions

qwinsta /server:<servername>

SITZUNGSNAME   BENUTZERNAME      KENNUNG STATUS  TYP         GERÄT
console                        0                                     Verbunden                                    wdcon
rdp-tcp                     65536                              Bereit                                               rdpwd
rdp-tcp#5               xxchr95                         2                                      Aktiv       rdpwd
rdp-tcp#13            xxkla19                           1                                     Aktiv        rdpwd

Then, kick a sesson

rwinsta 2 /server:<servername>

Where 2 is the Session Id from the qwinsta command

Or, if you happen to be admin on the target machine take over the console RDP session

mstsc /console /v:<server>
