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.
