Connecting to specific session using remote desktop
We have a Windows 2008 R2
server with no active directory, single credentials for all.
It is possible to disconnect from a session without logging off.
Is there a way to connect directly to a disconnected session while I know its Session ID
?
Clarification: tscon
is good, but I want to connect directly to the session.
Currently, I log on to all till I find the wanted session.
Solution 1:
Note that mstsc.exe has no (documented) options to supply a session ID.
But once you have logged in to the Remote Desktop Session server, you can change the session you are connected to by issuing
tscon <session id> /v
See MS KB 321703 for details on tscon
.
Alternatively, you might use tsadmin.msc and the "Connect" function from the context menu of the "Sessions" tab:
As another idea, you could try supplying an alternate shell with the RDP configuration file which would run tscon <sessionID>
, but I am not quite sure it would really pan out as you intend it to.
