    I realize this is old, but this helped me.

     

    This should cover everyone, even servers I believe. The number corresponds to the RDP session. 0=console and 1+2=other sessions. Depending on how you connect to your computer determines which session you use so running all 3 should work to disconnect everyone.

     

    Last line if optional if you want to lock screen.

     

    Paste all of this into bat file then run when you want to disconnect from RDP

     

    tscon 0 /dest:console
    tscon 1 /dest:console
    tscon 2 /dest:console
    Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation

I figured it out that I have to have a paid version as when you close your RDP or lock your computer it closes the Windows GUI that is required for Hamachi to operate on the Free version. I have found a work around program that functions.

    I, too, would like to know the workaround. THanks!

    Ok,  here is the workaround. Create a bat file with the command 

     

    Open:  "Note Pad"

    Type in one line : "tscon 1 /dest:console" (without quotes)

    Save file as: "filename.bat" (file type - All files)

     

    That is it.  

     

    Now instead of clicking on the "X" or "Log Off" to close your remote connection simply double click on this new bat file.  This returns your GUI to your local machine. This does however leave your workstation unlocked and open to any physical visitor who chooses to touch it.  Set a Screen Saver password to help keep people out and set your timer to 1 minute.

     

    Note: In my Windows 8 session I have to right click and "run as administrator" to have it work correctly.

        It doesn't seem to work, even with Right-Click to Run as Admin. A command-prompt screen flashes up, disappears, then I get sent back to the desktop of the remote computer.

         

        Nevertheless, I have found out that my router (ASUS RT-N56U) has its own VPN Server, which I can use after my provider replaces the hopeless modem/router with a pure modem, so hopefully I won't need to use Hamachi. But thanks for the hint anyway!
