Is there a way to find out who is access my computer using Remote Desktop? If
so, can I kick them off?

By default only administrators can access remote desktop.
1. Right mouse click on My Computer and choose properties
2. Click on the Tab Remote - you should see a check mark box that says
"Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" and a button that says
"Select Remote Users..."
3. Click on Select Remote Users.... - this will show you who can access your
computer through Remote Desktop.

If all of the users are Administrators on your computer then they can RDP to
your computer.

Thanks John for your reply. The situation is: An administrator has logged in
using Desktop. His screen is locked up. It is slowing down the server, and he
can only click the X to close the screen, but his login is still running and
locked up. I would like to know if I can stop his login. I know I can restart
the server to accomplish this. But we dont really want to do this yet.

Jerry, I assume that you need Remote Desktop for some reason. If not, kill it. I'm not a
user but I'll bet there are passwords available, so that only 10 or 20 of your closest
associates can climb on.
