RE: [ActiveDir] Win32Shutdown Method & Win2003

Hmm…You’re right…it works fine from the console.  Many of our admins logon through rdp though.  Is there a workaround for TS sessions?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 2:16 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Win32Shutdown Method & Win2003   Devon- Are you getting an actual error or just that it doesn't work? I ran your script on my test W2003 box and it worked just fine. I ran it as administrator at the server's console. How are you running this script? At the console or in a TS session? The latter may be problematic. Also, you might want to try:    objSystem.Win32Shutdown 4   which I think is forced logoff. That would get around issues where some process is preventing the normal logoff.   Darren   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 9:52 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Win32Shutdown Method & Win2003 Same error   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alain Lissoir Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 11:26 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Win32Shutdown Method & Win2003   On 2003?
