Managing remote connections without tsadmin

Most of those who have worked on remote terminals using the Remote Desktop Connection utility would have faced the problem of not being able to connect because of disconnected session. The solution usually is to use the tsadmin utility to close the sessions. However, while working on a Windows XP, this is not available.

However, Windows XP does provide the following to perform this action
- qwinsta (Query Windows Station)
qwinsta /server:servername allows the user to view the sessions and obtain the session ids on a remote windows host
- rwinsta (Reset Windows Station)
rwinsta sessionid /server:servername
