Kill Active Sessions On a Server Using Command Prompt

First rule is you need to have proper permissions to access the server to which you are trying to reset the connections.

If you do not know the server IP address you can find it using the following CMD command.
ping yourservername

Then run the following command to get the sessions on the server.
qwinsta /server:203.0.156.203

Get the ID of the session you want to kill.
rwinsta [SessionID] /server:203.0.156.203

How I started Programming

At the early stage of my university studies, I was learning the basics of computer programming. To be honest, first few months were a nightmare. I couldn’t  figure out what I was learning, what’s the actual real world use of those printing triangles, squares and different shapes using “for” and “while” loops. C and C++ were the languages our lecturer thought us during the first two semesters of our university studies.

Somehow I managed to complete the first year of my uni studies but still didn’t know much about programming. All I did was reading the text books, lecture slides and prepare for the exams.

At the end of second year we were asked to complete a group project. We were allowed to use any programming language and come up with a software system to build. I was assigned to a group with other four strangers and there was a guy who had some idea about programming, so we elected him as our leader. Working close to him, I gradually got the hang of how to actually programme. We choose PHP as our primary programming language. I was given the task to build the logging screen and some views. I spent one and half week’s in front of the computer searching on google about how to get started with PHP.

After a couple of weeks, I was in a position to design a simple web page, add some text boxes and buttons and connect to a database. During the next few days, I practiced how to insert data to MYSQL database and how to retrieve it and display on the web page. By now I had a much clear idea about the actual use of programming.

During our third year studies we were mostly taught about JAVA and C#. That’s the time where things really started to work for me. I got kind of addicted to C#. Writing small programs during my free time, teaching others the basic concepts, reading tutorials made things even more awesome.

By the end of fourth year I was a pretty good programmer. A lot of guys took tuition from me and I was really happy to help them out. On our final year research project I was the main programmer and we managed to compete in a national level competition in Sri Lanka but unfortunately, we couldn’t winL. Anyway,   it was a great experience.

After completing four years in university and learning different programming languages, finally I settled with C# to start my career. Took me a couple of months to find my first job in C# and at the same time managed to find some part time work as well so, the income was better than I expected J.

Now after several years of programming, working for several companies, I moved to Australia. Right now I’m working as a “Solutions Consultant” in a Melbourne based company. That’s my journey as a programmer and I hope I could learn many things in the years to come. J
