Powershell Log Off Remote Session

by

Perhaps surprisingly you can logoff users with the logoff command.

C:\> logoff /?
Terminates a session.

LOGOFF [sessionname | sessionid] [/SERVER:servername] [/V] [/VM]

  sessionname         The name of the session.
  sessionid           The ID of the session.
  /SERVER:servername  Specifies the Remote Desktop server containing the user
                      session to log off (default is current).
  /V                  Displays information about the actions performed.
  /VM                 Logs off a session on server or within virtual machine.
                      The unique ID of the session needs to be specified.

The session ID can be determined with the qwinsta (query session) or quser (query user) commands (see here):

$server="MyServer"
$username = $env:USERNAME

$session = ((quser /server:$server | ? { $_ -match $username }) -split ' +')[2]

logoff $session /server:$server
