MASTER OFF ALL on Universe. -----Original Message----- From: Norman Morgan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 3:40 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] UniVerse and Shadow copy on Windows 2003
So, what is the best way to log users off cleanly in mass? You certainly can't depend on users to log off for themselves. Asking, begging, threatening....none of that works. I know for certain if I log in at 03:00, there will be 15 to 20 users still logged in, even though the building has been empty for hours. =========================================================== Norman Morgan <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.brake.com =========================================================== Sometimes I wake up grumpy.
