How to get Remote Desktop Sessions (RDP) using Powershell

In Powershell, we can get a list of remote desktop sessions (rdp) using the commands QWinsta and Query.

List Remote Desktop Sessions using QWinsta:

QWinsta /server:[Server name or IP]

Replace the parameter [Server name or IP] with the name or IP address of the remote machine.

QWinsta /server:210.168.1.54

Get Remote Desktop Sessions using Query:

Query user /server:[Server name or IP]

Replace the parameter [Server name or IP] with the name or IP address of the remote computer.

Query user /server:210.168.1.54
