Disconnects the client from the WinRM service on a remote computer.
Syntax
Disconnect-WSMan [-ComputerName <string>] [<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Disconnect-WSMan cmdlet disconnects the client from the WinRM service on a remote computer. If you saved the WS-Management session in a variable, the session object remains in the variable, but the state of the WS-Management session is "Closed". You can use this cmdlet within the context of the WS-Management Provider to disconnect the client from the WinRM service on a remote computer. However, you can also use this cmdlet to disconnect from the WinRM service on remote computers before you change to the WS-Management Provider.
For more information about how to connect to the WinRM service on a remote computer, see Connect-WSMan.
Parameters
-ComputerName <string>
Specifies the computer from which you want to disconnect. The value can be a fully qualified domain name, a NetBIOS name, or an IP address. Use the local computer name, use localhost, or use a dot (.) to specify the local computer. The local computer is the default. When the remote computer is in a different domain from the user, you must use a fully qualified domain name must be used. You can pipe a value for this parameter to the cmdlet.
Note: You cannot disconnect from the local host (the default connection to the local computer). However, if a separate connection is made to the local computer (for example, by using the computer name), you can remove that connection by using the Disconnect-WSMan cmdlet .
