RE: OT Force network logout

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

Windows 2003 now includes as standard the "shutdown" tool, which
can do
exactly this. It has been in the NT Resource Kits since NT4 I think.. -
ISTR
there was a seperate command line and GUI version caled shutdown and
shutgui
in those days, but now in 2K3 its a single tool with a switch to display
the
GUI if required.

Anyway, get yourself a copy of the Resource kit tools, - in my experience
these tend to be pretty version agnostic, so it's even worth trying out the
NT4 version if that's all you can get hold of... (I haven't tried it that
way round myself...)

My Windows XP Pro machines also all have a copy of shutdown.exe in
\windows\system32 as well...

HTH
