Disconnects a client from a multicast transmission or namespace. Note that if you do not use the /force option with this command, the default behavior is as follows:
- If you are using the Windows Deployment Services client, the
client will continue with the installation, using the Server
Message Block (SMB) protocol.
- If you are not using the Windows Deployment Services client,
the installation will fail.
Syntax
WDSUTIL /Disconnect-Client /ClientId:<Client ID> [/Server:<Server name>] [/Force]
