I've been seeing more and more instances of developers and administrators just disconnecting from RDP sessions on our servers instead of logging off. One I just find this irritating and two It leaves possible applications open on the servers and using resources. So to combat this issue I finally put the following scripts together.
The first looks for all RDP sessions that have been idle for more than 59 minutes on a filtered list of servers. It then compiles a list of all sessions with the same userID. It looks up the e-mail address of each userID in Active Directory and puts together a report of that list and e-mails it to the individual. Once all individual reports have been sent it sends a master list to a specified address (me). The function that gathers the RDP session info was written by Jaap Brasser http://www.jaapbrasser.com, I was half way through writing my own when I stumbled upon it but why would I want to reinvent the wheel?
The Second one I use to kill RDP sessions remotely quickly and easily. It uses Jaap's "Get-LoggedonUser" function as well but I've omitted it from the script box to save space.
