I can run the VIPRE console on the server but choose to do it from my desktop machine instead. It's rarely open on the server. Roger Wright ___ Dr. Seuss is my favorite rapper!

Guess I'll just have to live with manually shutting down the console if I want to reboot the server. It's not that big a deal now that I've decided not to automatically reboot the server weekly.

I can't test right now, but that seems like it would stop the console too. there's two key vipre services, by the way. If you can "net stop", there's no reason to taskkill ________________________________________ From: Andrew S.

This approach will likely be complicated by the state of the server (e.g. workstation locked). Process killing is rarely fraught with peril...

As far as taskkill, I just dont like killing off a process just because, and thats what that seems like to me. From: Andrew S.

I checked with Sunbelt support and they said there is no way to *programmatically* close the console when I reboot the server (scheduled task, so it's non-interactive.) They suggested using Microsoft's TaskKill. Anyone got any better suggestions?
