Here's a little trick for getting into a box via Terminal Server when all sessions are in use. Phil and I came up with it yesterday and I was going to write it up, but he beat me to it with a pretty nice writeup. Here it is:
We use Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) to remotely manage a Windows 2003 server that is not part of our domain. Recently we ran into the two user limit for remote desktop connections, which barred anyone from connecting.
Jon discovered a neat little trick that got us in. He ran the following command from the command line:
mstsc -console
It turns out that mstsc.exe is the remote desktop connection application. The -console flag specifies that we want to connect to the console session of a server. Since we generally launch Remote Desktop from the icon, we almost always leave this console session free. Nice!
