How to Unlock Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise when locked by a domain user

Contents

In Windows operating system, administrators have always had power over other user accounts. This includes creating and deleting them and, what is more important, be able to log out. Logging off users becomes important when IT support needs to perform some maintenance on the computer or shut it down safely. This can be done remotely or manually.

In Windows XP, if a user left their account connected to a PC, I just had to unlock the computer with administrator credentials and log out the user to be able to perform administration tasks. This functionality is missing in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Then, the question is, Can this feature or a similar one be applied in Windows 7 Enterprise / Professional if Quick User Switching (FUS) is disabled?
