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. |

The console session can't be disconnected.
