I have access to PSTools but when I connect to the target using RDP - I get black screen.
I tried:
psexec -u user -p password \\target C:\windows\system32\reset session 2
but then when I re-connect to the RDP it's a new session and I don't want that - I want to keep the current session alive. How can I achieve that?
I tried restarting as another option:
psservice -u user -p password \\target restart termservice
but it says it can't restart since other services depends on it.
Error controlling termservice on \\target :
A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on.
I'm ending the session using:
tscon 2 /dest:console

Fix the problem with the blank screen instead of trying to work around it. – Appleoddity – 2019-05-08T22:57:39.953
@Appleoddity This is what I want to do - if it aint obvious from the question. – WindowsXpUser – 2019-05-08T23:38:20.317
It’s not obvious. You are trying to recover from a problem that shouldn’t happen in the first place. When I reconnect to an RDP session my screens are never blank. – Appleoddity – 2019-05-09T00:17:33.237
@Appleoddity Well they are black because I spawn thousands of processes on the host - however I can do whatever I want on a 20+ years old server OS - it should be stable enough. Also I kill all the hogging processes before trying to enter the session with pskill. – WindowsXpUser – 2019-05-09T06:48:06.430
