Jaap Brasser
This script allows you to open a Remote Desktop session with a remote session while specifying credentials. This functionality was removed from the mstsc.exe application and this PowerShell function can serve as a workaround that allows you to automatically connect to servers.

This entry contains 2 tools, Get-RDPSession and Remove-RDPSession. I wrote this with considerable help from a guy that post's here under the name, Brima.  If he hadn't set up the Regex and the substrings I wouldn't have been able to make this happen.  Thank you Brima!

This function uses the CIM cmdlets to remotely Disable RDP on a given target or targets. As an added feature there is a switch, -DCOM, that allows you to force the function to use the DCOM protocol. Please post a comment if people want a version 2 based function.
