Is it possible to run Windows commands using rdesktop
tool in Linux? I tried with rdesktop -s
option:
rdesktop -u user -p 10.0.0.2 -s "cmd.exe"
but I'm not able to open the cmd.exe
using the above command, also I tried with the full path:
rdesktop -u user -p'password' 10.0.0.2 -s "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"
but there is no difference in the RDP session even if I use -s
.
I'm trying to get a list of RDP sessions using qwinsta /server
in Windows from Linux.

If you have access to the computer, install an ssh server on it. On Linux you can use for example Overlook-Fing to find the IP of the computer. Then you type
ssh username@ipaddress
into the Linux shell.Example:
Then type the user's password and you should have access to the computer's Windows Command Prompt. You could also use telnet but ssh is encrypted.
