sp_ha_admin returns a 0 if it successfully cleaned up syssessions, and returns a 1 if it encounters an error.
sp_ha_admin enters a message in the errorlog if it could not remove any entries from syssessions (for example, if it could not get a lock on syssessions).
To view all the current entries in syssessions, enter:
```
select * from syssessions
```
