"The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections." - Possible to kill inactive Terminal Services sessions remotely?

I've been remoted into an old Windows Server 2000 box a couple of times today and have lost connectivity.  Now, the machine is showing the following message: "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections." I know I can kill the dead sessions using the Terminal Services Manager if I login locally.  Is it possible to kill the sessions remotely?

Use Terminal Service Manager...connect to the remote TS, and view the sesions.  You can select and choose "logoff" if they show inactive and you are admin.

Nice trick!
You could still logon to the local computer instead of the domain and do it that way.

That should not need a license because it's an administrative logon.
