Log off Windows

[NTesla1886]

I have put together a computer use policy, that I want to require users to agree to before they can use Windows.

Problem is that their are ten different locations. Only one location has a server with active directory. What I did was set up IIS on the server at the main office. I created an html file containing the Use Policy. I was able to create a link "I Agree" that closes the Kiosk Mode IE window. What I need now is a link "I disagree" that will log off windows.

Is this possible and if so how is it done? Anyone know?

While I've never done it, you could probably use IE's ActiveX control to run a shell and use whichever command fits your needs most appropriately.

Check out these links for commands which might work for you:
