Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
<sessionID> |
Specifies the ID of the session to disconnect. |
<sessionname> |
Specifies the name of the session to disconnect. |
/server:<servername> |
Specifies the terminal server that contains the session that you want to disconnect. Otherwise, the current Remote Desktop Session Host server is used. This parameter is required only if you run the tsdiscon command from a remote server. |

Remarks
Any applications running when you disconnected the session are automatically running when you reconnect to that session with no loss of data. You can use the reset session command to end the running applications of the disconnected session, but this may result in loss of data at the session.
The console session can't be disconnected.
