-
You can always log off from the session to which you are currently logged on. You must, however, have Full Control permission to log off users from other sessions.
-
Logging off a user from a session without warning can result in loss of data at the user's session. You should send a message to the user by using the msg command to warn the user before taking this action.
-
If <SessionID> or <SessionName> is not specified, logoff logs off the user from the current session. If you specify <SessionName>, it must be an active one.
-
When you log off a user, all processes end and the session is deleted from the server.
-
You cannot log off a user from the console session.
