How to disconnect remotely logged users of remote desktop

First you have to get access to the target server, If you are in same domain you have access to the server. Or you can gain access by mapping a drive to local computer.

Eg : net use x: \\192.168.0.1\c$

Here i am using 192.168.0.1 as example IP, replace it with your IP

Open command prompt, and run

qwinsta /server:192.168.0.1

you can see the session IDs in the list, find the ID number which you want to reset

then run command

rwinsta /server:192.168.0.1 4

Here 4 is the session ID

Now the session will be cleared and you can access the server
