I use SSH to gain access to my Windows 2000 command line, so that will be reflected in the below steps.


Step #1: Connect to the server if you are not sitting at it

ssh username@win2000server -i privatekey

Step #2: Find out which sessions are currently active

query session

 SESSIONNAME       USERNAME                 ID  STATE   TYPE        DEVICE
>console                                     0  Conn    wdcon
 rdp-tcp                                 65536  Listen  rdpwd
 rdp-tcp#7         fakeuser                  1  Active  rdpwd

Step #3: We want to kill the connection with an ID of 1 (we can tell by the username and that it is active)

tsdiscon 1 /v

Disconnecting sessionID 1 from sessionname RDP-Tcp#7

That's it :) Easy eh?

This lets you embed YAML in your functional tests, for when you have complex form posts you want to mock out.

  post :process_checkout, YAML.load(<<-END.gsub(/^\s*\|/, "")).symbolize_keys
