Remote desktop connection in Window 2012
Posted on 2014-02-24
I have enabled the remote connection on Window 2012 under System Properties --> Remote -> Remote Desktop.
However, I can't find a way to view the current connection session and cut it if needed. Any idea ?

You can't. By default, windows server is only licensed to all remote desktop connections for administrative purposes only, and while you can add other accounts using then ethic you mentioned, that is still for delegating admin duties. It does not change the licensing, and therefore the advanced tools of managing connections are also not installed.
If you want those tools, you have to set up RDS. That means installing and configuring the roles and buying and installing RDS CALs. That is the only way to allow connections for non-admin purposes and install the tools to manage those connections.

Hello,
Terminal Services Manager is no more available in Windows 2012 (I am not sure about the task manager). You can enable RDMS through Server Manager or use Powershell cmdlets.

Simply reconnect and log out. Without the RSDH role, only two concurrent sessions will be allowed, so it isn't like you'll end up with a ton of idle sessions. It simply can't happen. There is no GUI for session management in 2012. There is no workaround.
