Log Off

[chuckster1]

I want to run a script when a users Logs Off from Windows. Does anyone know how I could link a script to this event?

Thanks.

Which OS, If it is Windows XP then you can do it via Group Policy, there is a logoff section where you can add scripts to run.

The Group Policy will work for XP or 2000. I looked into this a while back to find a scripting solution to a logout application we use.
There is a WMI call for ComputerShutdownEvent at:

Visual Basic also has a QueryUnLoad function that will run something on shutdown or exit.

Good luck.

Thanks M8 the GP stuff works brilliantly. With regards to the WMI stuff I must admit I looked at that but knew not where to go with it. Would I need to create a listening program or something for that event.

Anyone know how where to start with this?

For WMI, there are examples in the Technet Script Center.
