Hi Jeff,

 

There are a few options you could use here.

First of all, using the logoff.exe command with the /n option will allow you to logoff the user without them having to confirm the logoff. However, yes, applications that still have unsaved data will in this interfere, and using 'Cancel' (for example with a Word document still open) will allow them to keep on working. Not much you can do to prevent that, I'm afraid.

To tackle the matter of the hour: Either use a timer in a script to call the logoff command after the user logs on, or, what might be a bit neater, in my opinion, use the schtasks.exe command in the logon script to use the useraccount to schedule a call to the logoff.exe command 60 minutes after logon.

 

There are various ways to set maximum session times on Terminal Server and whatnot, but for normal AD logons, I am not aware of a solution for this apart from the one mentioned above.

 

Regards,

 

Paul

Hi,

we have a problem with some shift workers not loggin out after their shift is over. is there any way to limit users to being logged in for a few hours at a time ? I would like to log them out ever hour and have them log back in again.

I can set allowed login time by user because they change shift time  IE: some time they work  nites some times days.

They always log into the same computers though. can a computer be assghned to keep a login for a set time ?

 

 

that in advanced for your help o' gods of the Active Directory
