log off terminal server users via batch file

[bmeche]

I am looking for a way to log off all terminal server users, I cannot get these guys to log off and prevents us from getting a good backup, I would like to run a batch/script before the backup runs.

Any suggetions?

Use a group policy setting to force a logoff after your designated logon hours.

Set the problem users with a "Only able to log in during X hours" and then set the GPO to boot them after that time.

We had the same problem, but only needed to make sure a couple of programs were closed so the data files could be backed up properly. We didn't actually have to have everyone logged out.

I ended up using 'tskill' in a .bat file and using Scheduled Tasks to make sure these programs are closed for all users at a set time every night.

-----.bat file example-------
tskill /a outlook
tskill /a msaccess
