Restart service - Terminal Services

[Bill Priess]

Interesting question... the answer is maybe... .NET, in general, has the
ability to interact with services, provided that Identity Impersonation is
turned on and using an account that has administrator rights to the server.
Using this knowledge, you could stop and restart the TS Service from
ASP.NET. The other thing you could do is to stop and start the process from
the System.Diagnostics namespace.

tsdiscon.exe will do this

RUN
tsdiscon 1 /SERVER:MYSERVER
tsdiscon 2 /SERVER:MYSERVER

To kick disconnect sessions 1 and 2. Be careful on XP you can disconnect
your own session.

Other then i cant list them (guess i dont need to) that works great..
I will just enable telnet server.. and use that...
the other day i ran in to a bit of a deadlock..
i managed to screw up IIS which stopped all ASP scripts.. and i couldnt fix
it.. cuz i couldnt use terminal server...
so i think telnet will be my backup option..

Thanks
Justin

You can just run it from ASPX like this


Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process()
p.StartInfo = New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c c:\discon.cmd"
p.Start()
p.WaitForExit()
