RDP logon while other user is logged on: no way to automate automatic disconnect/logoff
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/21
One of the dreaded things when logging on using RDP is that if another user is logged on, you have to first indicate you want to indeed logon (if you don’t, the RDP connection will close after some 15-30 seconds), then wait for their approval time-out before you can logon.
As of writing there is no way around this.
Some links that helped me conclude this:
- [WayBack] Force logoff on RDP connection – Networking
- [WayBack] Windows 7 – force existing user session to logoff, not disconnect, at log on – Super User
- [WayBack] batch – How can I automatically log out users from a Windows machine? – Super User
- [WayBack] active directory – Force authenticated user immediate logoff (emergency case) – Server Fault
