In windows 2003 and 2008 we had terminal services manager (see screenshot below). However in Windows server 2012 it's gone .

Is there a way to locate the user list in windows 2012 remotely logging in?

enter image description here

(I tried connecting to Windows 2012 from Windows 2008, that's why you see "win2012" in the TSM groups list. But it didn't work out and that's not a solution to my problem either I was just trying to somehow manage remote users on the Win 2012 server.)

You can use qwinsta from the command line to display the current RDP sessions.

 qwinsta /server:computer01

 SESSIONNAME       USERNAME                 ID  STATE   TYPE        DEVICE
 console                                     0  Conn    wdcon
 rdp-tcp                                 65536  Listen  rdpwd
                   administrator             2  Disc    rdpwd

To kill a session use rwinsta to delete the session specifying the ID number.

rwinsta /server:computer01 3

Here's the list of command line tools for Remote Desktop.

Or, you can use powershell.

Get-RDUserSession and Disconnect-RDUser

Here's the list of those cmdlets.
