Несколько раз встречался с ситуацией, когда один из пользователей Windows Server с ролью RDS (Remote Desktop Services) запустил приложение, которое утекло и заняло всю доступную RAM. Удаленно подключиться к такому хосту по RDP невозможно. Чтобы завершить утекший процесс, нужно выполнить удаленный логофф пользователя. Для этого можно использовать встроенную команду logoff.
Синтаксис команды logoff.exe:
logoff /server:<servername> <session ID> /v
Команда logoff принимает ID сессии пользователя, которую нужно завершить. Чтобы вывести список активных сеансов пользователей на удаленном компьютере, выполните команду:
quser /server:RemoteComputerName
USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME admin console 1 Active none 1/25/2023 1:23 PM
В данном случае на компьютере выполнен локальный вход (console) под пользователем admin. ID этой сессии равно 1.
Можно получить ID сессии определенного пользователя:
quser /server:RemoteComputerName sidorov
Совет. Если пользователь подключен через Remote Desktop, в поле SESSIONNAME будет указано rdp-tcp#X.
Вы можете удаленно завершить сеанс пользователя по его ID сессии. Выполните команду:
logoff 1 /SERVER:RemoteComputerName /v
Logging off session ID 1
При завершении сеанса пользователя, будут завершены все его запущенные процессы.
Проверьте, что на удаленном компьютере не осталось активных сессий:
quser /server:RemoteComputerName
No User exists for *
Можно использовать небольшой скрипт, чтобы завершить все сеансы пользователей на нескольких терминальных серверах:
@echo off
setlocal
set servers=MSKRDS1 MSKRDS2
for %%s in (%servers%) do (
qwinsta /server:%%s | for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ('findstr /I "%username%"') do logoff /server:%%s %%i /v
)
Также для удаленного завершения сессий пользователей можно использовать встроенную утилиту rwinsta:
rwinsta rdp-tcp#12 /server:MSKRDS2
или
rwinsta 22 /server:MSKRDS2

How do I sign out other user accounts without restarting the computer? When someone forgets to log out of a public or shared PC, their account still consumes RAM in the background. To free up the resources being used by other logged-in accounts, you can log them off using Task Manager, Command Prompt and PowerShell.
Method 1: Log Off Another User Using Task Manager
Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keyboard shortcut to launch Task Manager. Go to the Users tab, it will list all users that are currently signed in to your system. Right-click on the user you want to log off and select the Sign off option.
You will get a warning that says the user’s unsaved data might be lost. Click on Sign out user when you need to proceed.
Method 2: Log Off Another User Using Command Prompt
Open the Command Prompt with administrative rights, run the query session command to see all users currently logged into the computer. Take note of the session ID of the user you want to sign out.
Next, run the following command to log off your desired account by specifying the session ID.
logoff ID
This method doesn’t give you any alert or confirmation that the user you’re signing out will lose unsaved work.
Method 3: Log Off Another User Using PowerShell
Open Windows PowerShell with administrative rights, and type the following commands. Replace “Server01” with your computer’s name and substitute “pcunlocker” with the name of the account you want to log out.
$server = 'Server01'
$username = 'pcunlocker'
$sessionId = ((quser /server:$server | Where-Object { $_ -match $userName }) -split ' +')[2]
logoff $sessionId /server:$server
Once logged off, the user account is no longer listed in Task Manager. Signing a user out this way has the same risk of losing all unsaved data as the above method.

How to Log Off Another User in Windows 10
Although the concept of multiple users sharing one device or one PC is getting rarer by the day, there are still cases when you have to share PCs and switch users fast. Sometimes you need to end a session for another user signed in to your computer. Here are a number of methods you can use.
The situation can be different when you need to end a user session. For example, someone just forgot to sign out from his or her user account, and left running apps and opened docs, so the remain in your computer’s memory and consume its system resources. In this case, it could be useful to kick out the inactive session for the other user.
There are no third party tools required. This can be done using either Task Manager, Command Prompt or PowerShell.
- Open the Task Manager app.
- If it looks as follows, switch it to the full view using the «More details» link in the bottom right corner.
- Click on the Users tab.
- Right-click on a user account you want to log off.
- Select Sign off from the context menu.
You are done.
Alternatively, there are a couple of console tools we can use for the same purpose. Let’s review them.
Log Off Another User from the Command Prompt
- Open an elevated command prompt.
- Type or copy-paste the following command:
query session. This will list available user sessions. - Note the ID column value for the user you want to sign off.
- Now, execute the command
logoff <ID>. For example,logoff 1.
You are done.
Finally, you can use PowerShell, as follows.
Log Off Another User from with PowerShell
- Open PowerShell as Administrator.Tip: You can add «Open PowerShell As Administrator» context menu.
- Type or copy-paste the following command:
$sessionID = ((quser /server:'you computer name' | Where-Object { $_ -match 'user name to sign off' }) -split ' +')[2] - Now, execute the command
logoff $sessionID.
The PowerShell method is great when you know the exact user name. You can save it as a script and sign out other users with one click when needed.
That’s it.

Не редко один компьютер делят несколько пользователей и пока пользователь не завершит сеанс, Windows 11 будет выделять для учетной записи ресурсы процессора и оперативную память.
Чтобы завершить сеанс другого пользователя нам понадобится «Диспетчер задач». Запускаем его любым удобным способом (например, горячими клавишами «Ctrl+Shift+Esc»). В окне диспетчера задач переходим во вкладку «Пользователи», затем находим пользователя, сеанс которого необходимо завершить и щелкаем по нему правой кнопкой мыши. В появившемся контекстном меню нажимаем на «Выйти».
При этом появится предупреждение «Если вы выполнили выход для пользователя, несохраненные данные пользователя могут быть утеряны. Вы хотите продолжить?», для подтверждения выхода нажимаем на кнопку «Выход пользователя».
There are multiple ways to log off the current user on a Windows system using the command line. The version of the commands below will depend on the Windows version, the interface you are using to log off the user (e.g. Remote Command Prompt, RMM, Local Command Prompt) etc..
The command to force the current user to log off immediately using the command line in Windows is:
shutdown /l /f /t 00
Sometimes you will need to use a “-” instead of a “/”
shutdown -l -f -t 00
If you’d like to log off the session giving the current user the chance to save any work you would just exclude the “/f”
shutdown /l
or
shutdown -l
On some remote management systems you can’t issue the shutdown command. In these cases what you need to do is find out the current user’s active session number by issuing the following command:
query user
You will then be able to see the current user’s Id and issue the logoff command instead:
logoff 1
Where 1 is the ID of the user you are logging off after performing the query user command.
The following command has been tested on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10. Your mileage may vary on other version of windows.
