remote logoff another user

[Brandon Baker]

I have an admin that has logged onto a dc from the console. That dc is at a
remote site. He has sinced changed that account's password and it keeps
getting locked out because it is signed into the console. I have logged into
the dc with an admin acount and used Terminal Services Managers and tried to
log off that acount without success. How do I cancel that users session?

See tip 4086 » PsShutdown command-line freeware works on both the local and remote computers.
in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com

Assume the remote computer is DC1

PsShutdown -o -f \\DC1

Is it possible to re-boot the server? That would certainly do it.

Jerrold is suggesting to use PSShutdown to do just that.

If you are having difficulty in reading or finding responses to your post,
instead of the website you are using, if I may suggest to use OEx (Outlook
Express or any other newsreader of your choosing), and configure a newsgroup
account, pointing to news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link into the
Microsoft Public Newsgroups, and it is FREE and DOES NOT require a Usenet
account with your ISP. With OEx, you can easily find your post, track
threads, cross-post, and sort by date, poster's name, watched threads or
subject.

Not sure how? It's easy:
