I figured I might as well post the file that I
use to disconnect all users. Just note that it does disconnect ALL open
resources on the server. If the file gets filtered or anyone is
uncomfortable opening any attachments, here is the (only) command that it
contains:
for /f "skip=4 tokens=1" %%a in ('net files') do
net files %%a /close
The above command must be run from a batch
file. I do not think that it works the same if input at a command
prompt. I have not noticed any conflicts with other apps, I just make
sure that it is run before any backups are scheduled.
Hope it helps.

If you're running NT I found a command that can
be run from a batch file that closes all open resources on a server.
If you would like it, email me and I will send you a link to the MS support
page. It ain't pretty, but neither is a database that is not properly
maintained because some user forgot to log out. I am running it now,
set to "drop" everyone at a specified time each night, do a complete
OUTPUT/INPUT (which corrects more errors than a RELOAD) and backup the
files, among some other required tasks. As long as you can make sure
that there are no processes running, it works well.
Forget about trying to ask politely or trying
to keep track of users in a table. You'll drive yourself
crazy.

How does one
disconnect users so that a RELOAD or AUTOCHECK can be done from a server
or workstation???
