In my company, we're using RDP (Remote Desktop) in order to connect to customers. However, when starting up an RDP session while somebody else is already connected, this other person is kicked out, which is quite annoying.

Is there a way to know that a remote desktop connection is available?

Thanks in advance

You can find out if someone is already connected to the machine using the command line.

query user /server:<servername>
  • If anyone is connected you will see a line saying active. It is these people you will "kick off".
  • Disconnected means that they were logged in, but have disconnected and not logged out. You are still good to go and connect if this is the case.
  • No User exists means that no one at all is connected.
