Today a colleague asked me if I was logging on a workstation remotely when I was not. She got the answer and asked others. I thought there must be a tool or method to check the remote login status without logging in via remote desktop.

I searched and found that using PowerShell and quser.exe can achieve the purpose within a company domain.

Open PowerShell and run following commands after replacing the COMPUTERNAME

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName COMPUTERNAME
quser

Quser will show the information about user sessions on a Remote Desktop Session Host. You may use the ID and log it off in PowerShell by

logoff ID

I bought the domain name on Godaddy in April and tried to deploy wordpress initially and then jekyll on a VPS, but the speed is quite unstable and I abandoned. Eventually I use github pages as a solution.
