TSSKill Details

TSSKill (Terminal Services Session Kill) was specifically designed to work around the existing platform and provide you wtih 24/7 access to your server(s). Working around the system, TSSkill will allow you to release any Terminal Services session using your desktop and even your website. It also includes the functionality to send the session user a warning message before taking any action.

TSSKill accomplishes its task utliziing its three core components:

  • TSSKill Windows Service
    • Runs on your server 24/7
    • Accepts connections from any configured port
    • Allows you to designate a list of approved IP addresses (optional)
  • TSSKill Stand-alone Desktop Application
    • Securely connects to the TSSKill Windows Service
    • Keeps a secured list of all your servers and their TSSKill connection data
    • Upon authentication, displays a list of Active sessions on that server
    • Allows you to release a session or send a message to a session user before taking any action
  • TSSKill COM Object
    • Securely connects to the TSSKill Windows Service
    • Upon authentication, displays a list of Active sessions on that server
    • Allows you to release a session or send a message to a session user
    • All using ASP or .Net so you can integrate this functionality into your existing server managment application allowing your dedicated server clients to remotely release sessions without having to contact your support team saving you time, resources, and money.



Illustration 1 above shows the desktop to server functioanlity. The TSSKill Service runs as a Windows service on any Windows Server. Using our TSSKill Desktop stand-alone application, you choose from a previously saved list of servers that have the TSSKill Service running. Upon connecting, all sessions are displayed along with Session ID, IP, Logon Time, etc. Options are presented for logging off any particular session or sending a message to the session user allowing them to be warned before they are disconnected.




Illustration 2 above shows the the unique feature of being able to integrate the desktop functionality into an existing website or server management application. The TSSKill Service runs as a Windows service in any Windows Server. Using our TSSKill COM object you specify the IP address, Port, and login credentials for any TSSKill Service and a list of sessions are passed back to your web application. Implementing the same functionality as our TSSKill Desktop, the COM object exposes functions to release a session and send a session user a message allowing them to be warned before they are disconnected.
