RE: [ActiveDir] logging users out

[Ulf B. Simon-Weidner]

Did you try shutdown.exe? The parameters /l /f /t 3600 allow you to time it for an hour after executing it, and to force a logoff. No need to script around using additional timers or scripts.

Thank you all for the helpful hints,

Yes exactly, I want it to log of users whether they object or not, please can you post it or send it to me?

Thanks

Do you want this to be something that logs the user off whether or not they object? If so, I have a qlogoff tool that will log someone off immediately and they will lose whatever they are working on. I thought I posted it to the website but I don't see it. But I can post it.

 

Firing it after one hour will be a little involved. You will have to have some sort of timer app running in the background.

Hi list,

how can I set Active directory to log out users after a specific period of time, say an internet cafe wants to log the users out after one hour? I don't want to use account expires, I want the account to be still active but to log the users out and they can re-login after that no problem.
