Terminal Services Tip 'o' The Day

Hands up everyone who loves Terminal Services (Remote Desktop).

Keep your hand up if you love seeing the message "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections" because windows only gives you 2 by default.

I don't expect many hands to be up here!

If you pass the /console switch to mstsc though, it'll use the actual console (dude at the keyboard) session to do it's magic, giving you a way in to go and boot all the other server-hogging RDP sessions off the server.

Don't thank me, thank mstsc!
