Hello,

I have users on my Win2K Terminal Server who don't always
log off at night. However, I want to make sure that there
are no files locked for backups. I was wondering if there
is an easy way to write a batch file that would log off
all users at a specific time.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Mike
 
Hi Mike,

Create a batch file containing the following

logoff rdp-tcp < yes.txt

or

logoff ica-tcp < yes.txt

Obviously the first one will log off RDP sessions and the
second will log off ICA sessions. I don't know which you
are using but you could also put both lines in your batch
file to cover both eventualities.

You would also need to create a file called yes.txt in
the same directory which just contains the letter y. I'm
sure you can pipe a 'Yes' through to the logoff command
without doing this but can't remember how at the moment.

Then just schedule your batch file.

Hope it helps

Daniel.
