Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a powerful tool for remotely accessing another computer. It enables you to control a computer as if you were sitting in front of it. However, sometimes it is necessary to disconnect one or more RDP sessions entirely. In this article, we will explore different methods to disconnect an RDP session from command-line tools. We will also see how RDS-Tools helps you do such administrative tasks but also pre-empt them and never need to do certain repetitive actions.
How to Disconnect RDP Session From Command Line
I am going to expand the options of using LOGOFF and TSDISCON. Indeed, there is a third method I could describe but we decided to leave it aside. Since you could end up with hanging sessions which would only disappear with a reboot, disconnecting an RDP session by using the query and taskkill commands will not feature here. You may like to bear in mind that this method can be useful if you want to disconnect all sessions at once. So, for more on command lines logoff and tsdicon, do read on.
Method 1: Logoff
The logoff command is a simple way to disconnect an RDP session from the command line. To use it, open the Command Prompt or PowerShell and type:
logoff
Replace
For example, if the session ID is 3 and the server name is “example.com,” the command would be:
logoff 3 /server:example.com
This command will disconnect the session immediately.
Method 2: TSDISCON
The TSDISCON command is a built-in tool for disconnecting RDP sessions on Windows servers. To use it, open the Command Prompt or PowerShell and type:
tsdiscon
Replace
For example, if the session ID is 3 and the server name is “example.com,” the command would be:
tsdiscon 3 /server:example.com
This command will disconnect the session immediately.
