Real-World Scenario: You have two clients named Client-02 and Client-01 that run Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). Both clients have Remote Desktop disabled. A user named User1 logs on to Client-01 locally. You log on to Client-02 locally. You need to log User1 off Client-02 remotely. You must achieve this goal without restarting Client01. Which tool should you use on Client-02?

One solution for this scenario is to use Computer Management console. Please look at the following figures:

Note 1: To remotely log off a computer, you must have administrative credential on that system.

Note 2: Firewall must be configure properly on the remote system.
