Terminal server exceeded maximum connections

Don’t you hate that message when you need to logon to a server for a few minutes to change something. This usually means someone forgot to logoff their RDP connections (actually two connections must be opened and left in a idle state), and now you need to logon to the server. Now you can go through terminal services manager, and log that user off, but sometimes you need to get on immediately and don’t have time. Use the below command in “computer name” field when you are connecting to a computer through RDC, and you will logon to the console immediately.

Depending on which version of RDC you have one of the below commands should work:

Computer Name: computername /admin

Computer Name: computername /console
