Detailed Description

This cmdlet disconnects the connection to a Horizon API service that runs on an instance of the Horizon Connection server specified by the -Server parameter.

When there are no active connections to the server, the server is disconnected and removed from the $DefaultHVServers variable. For more information about this variable, see Connect-HVServer.

When no server and no user parameter is specified, and if there is only one connected server in the $DefaultHVServers variable, this server is disconnected. If there is no connected server or multiple servers, the cmdlet throws a terminating error.

This functionality uses the reference counting mechanism. A disconnect decreases the RefCount for that server. For more information about the mechanism, see Connect-HVServer.

If -Force is specified, the server is disconnected even if there is more than one connection to it.
