Often I have had problems logging in to remote desktops because the two user sessions Microsoft allows you to have are occupied. This is very annoying and until Windows Server 2008, you got no choice to log of the other users. There is however a smart little command line tool to do this.
To see logged in users, type: qwinsta /server:SERVERNAME
To log out an existing session, type: rwinsta /server:SERVERNAME SESSIONNAME
Here is an example from my machine:
C:\Users\gm>qwinsta /server:kraftwerk
SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
services 0 Disc
console 1 Conn
rdp-tcp#0 gm 2 Active rdpwd
rdp-tcp 65536 Listen
C:\Users\gm>rwinsta /server:kraftwerk rdp-tcp#0
